Freaky Friday Fun At Horizon Theatre
A comedic bunch of laughs that everyone in the family will enjoy. The funniest thing to me like in the movie, is seeing the mother and daughter act like each other and it is so exaggerated, but at the same time it seems like there is no other way for either of them to act. They play each other so well that the mother could be the daughter and the daughter the mother. All of the songs are catchy and it made me want to be a teenager again. I totally wanted to be on stage when they were doing the slow motion thing and oh so funny was when…
