Frequently Asked Questions
How do I watch the show this year?
Freaky Friday will be a pre-recorded performance with no live audience. The pre-recorded video will be uploaded to ShowTix4U for everyone to watch in their own homes. When you purchase tickets online, it will email you a video link and an access code. You will use these to watch the show online at the scheduled performance time. We recommend logging in 15 minutes before the performance to make sure your stream is ready to go.
Is this a livestream?
No. This is a pre-recorded performance, not a live feed from our auditorium. It will broadcast at our usual performance times to make it feel more like the weekend of a show. You will watch it in real-time at the scheduled performance time and will not be able to pause, rewind, or fast forward. Your access code does not give you a 48 hour window to watch the show (like an Amazon rental). You can only watch the show during the scheduled performance times, and when the stream ends your access ends.
What's the cutoff time to purchase tickets?
Tickets for each stream can be purchased up to the start time of each performance. Once the performance starts, ticket sales are closed.
How long is the show?
Freaky Friday runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. Remember- you can't pause or rewind the stream, so have all your snacks ready and use the bathroom before it starts!
Can I buy tickets at the school?
No. Since this is a pre-recorded performance, all tickets must be purchased online at showtix4u.com. You cannot come to the school and purchase tickets with cash, card, or check.
Can I buy a ticket online and send it to someone else?
Yes! When you buy your tickets, you will see an option to select how many devices you are purchasing access codes for. If you want to buy one for yourself and one for, say, your grandparents, select "2 devices." ShowTix4U will email you two access codes. Send the second code to your grandparents and tell them to log in at the correct time using their access code to watch the show.
I'm seeing additional fees from ShowTix4U when I'm ordering tickets. What's that about?
ShowTix4U charges additional fees to sell tickets online. They include a 3.5% credit card processing fee, a $2.45 service fee, and a $1.50 streaming fee. We apologize for this additional charge, and we wish we had the money to cover it ourselves, but this is not a year where that is possible. Speaking of money...
Can I make a donation?
Yes, please! We would be deeply grateful for any donations that our viewers are able to make. You may or may not know that our 2020 show, Chicago, was canceled due to COVID-19. This was a big emotional and financial hit to our program. While we are thrilled to be performing for you in 2021, we are still feeling the financial effects of last year's shutdown. Any donation that you can spare would greatly help us recoup last year's losses, offset costs from this year's show, and set us up for even more success in the future. There is a place to donate on ShowTix4U while you are ordering tickets before you enter your credit card information. ShowTix does not take any cut of the donations. Everything you are gracious enough to give directly benefits our students!
What if I have issues with ShowTix4U? (credit card transaction errors, can't find access codes)
If you have credit card transaction problems, please contact ShowTix4U support for help with these issues. The school does not process credit card transactions, ShowTix4U has excellent customer support, and their live chat feature has a very good response time during business hours. Click or tap the support button on their website and someone will be sure to help you out! Once you have purchased your tickets, we can re-email your access codes if you lose track of the email.
What if I have streaming issues on the night of the show?
The school does not have any control over how the video is streamed during performances. That is entirely up to ShowTix4U. This is a proven platform that is used and loved by many theaters. Make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection for the night of the show and everything should go smoothly!
