When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter. 5

NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR It is hard to resist the charms found in this evening’s production of Victor/Victoria. This classic comedy first premiered in an English language version as a feature film in 1982 starring Julie Andrews, Robert Preston, and James Garner. The film, directed by Blake Edwards with music and lyrics by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse, was an instant hit. It went on to receive multiple Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations as well as doing great box office. This was no small feat at a time when a screwball comedy, set in the arty world of “Gay Paris” in the early 1930s, featured a storyline of a “woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.” Flash forward to 1995 when Blake Edwards takes the show to Broadway with Julie Andrews, still in the title role, but with a new cast and expanded score. Victor/Victoria played for 734 performances which included periods of time for both Liza Minelli and Raquel Welch to strut their stuff in the title role. The charms of this show are found in the beautiful music, the fabulous dancing, and the characters who are at once “larger than life,” yet grounded in reality, just as many of us are as well. We are blessed with an amazing company of performers who deliver all of this with a healthy dose of gut-busting comedy sure to please. The company, crew and staff of The Moonlight have made magic in creating a perfect party for enjoying a late summer night at The Moonlight. Have a belle nuit! John Vaughan Director and Choreographer

ABOUT THE MOONLIGHT Forty years ago, Kathy Brombacher stood on what was then a concrete stage with officials from the City of Vista and the Vista Unified School District. With no electricity, running water, or bathrooms, Brombacher proclaimed that the small stage and grassy tiers could be home to musical theatre during the summer. The “Vista Summer Theatre Festival� was born and from 1981 through 1983, the city and the school district jointly produced the shows. In 1984, the festival was brought under the umbrella of the city and the theatre was renamed the Moonlight Amphitheatre. For 31 years, until her retirement on December 31, 2012, Brombacher led the development of what is now known as Moonlight Stage Productions as Producing Artistic Director. Today, Moonlight Stage Productions is recognized as one of San Diego County's major theatres, critically acclaimed for its Broadway-quality musicals. Led by Producing Artistic Director Steven Glaudini and Managing Director Colleen Kollar Smith, The Moonlight is experiencing an exciting period of audience growth and artistic vigor. Combined with Glaudini's artistic direction and buoyed by the reconstruction of the Moonlight Amphitheatre in 2008/09 with a state-of-the-art stage house, The Moonlight welcomes its audiences to experience Broadway's Best Under the Stars. In the fall of 2014, Moonlight Presents was inaugurated in order to present performing arts events year-round outside of the summer. Managing Director Colleen Kollar Smith curates the programming which has seen a 40% increase in attendance under her guidance.
