“Freaky Friday” closed on Sunday March 2 after enjoying a two-week run, with eight shows total. Freshman Astrid Ramirez played the role of Ms. Meyers, the notorious gym teacher. 

She starred in the song “Watch Your Back,” and described how it was performing. “That moment seconds before I go on,” Ramirez said, “The feeling of butterflies and the excitement of it all is euphoric for me.”

“Freaky Friday” is a story about family and connection, and Ramirez took a lot away from that. “It helps remind me that there’s things to be grateful about even at my lowest,” she said. “I think about the friends and family that you do have and the fact you have people behind you always.”

There were many impressive numbers in the show, but the one that stood out to her most was “Oh, Biology.” It features Ellie and her struggles with dealing with teenage hormones as she’s trapped in her daughter’s body. “It’s so catchy and the choreography is amazing,” Ramirez said. 

Not only was the choreography impressive in this show, but the vocals as well. It’s a vocally challenging show not just for the leads, but for the ensemble as well.

“I loved musical rehearsal so much, especially when the full cast was called,” Ramirez said, “Even though it was very cramped I think it brought us together!”

After working hard in the rehearsal process, the production has finally come to a close. To celebrate their hard work, some cast and crew members met up after the final show. 

“Spending time with the whole cast and crew and getting to dance at Central Market to the band, playing tag on the playground, it all gave me a reminder that I have a community of people that share the same passion and love for theatre as I do,” Ramirez said.
