Signature Theatre announced its partnership with TodayTix, the free mobile app that provides on-demand access to last-minute theater tickets, to launch a mobile lottery offering exclusive $25 tickets for every evening performance of Signature Theatre's world premiere production of Disney's Freaky Friday.

The new mobile Lottery ticketing program kicked off with the first preview on Tuesday, October 3rd, offering theatergoers a chance to win $25 Main Orchestra seats to that night's performance of Signature Theatre's highly anticipated world premiere.

Disney's Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a hilarious, contemporary update of an American classic in which a mother and daughter really see what it is to be a family and experience each other's lives first-hand, if only for a day. This world premiere musical is written by the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning team of Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey, with a book by Bridget Carpenter (TV's Parenthood and FridayNight Lights). Freaky Friday runs through Sunday, November 20. More information about the production can be found at SigTheatre.org.

In order to gain access to the $25 lottery tickets for performances of Disney's Freaky Friday at Signature Theatre, ticket buyers must download the TodayTix app and enter the lottery daily beginning at 12am EST on the day of the performance. Winners will be selected daily and notified via push notification and email 3-5 hours prior to curtain at which point they can claim and purchase their tickets in-app. Customers can pick up their tickets at the Signature Theatre box office starting 30 minutes prior to curtain.

"We're thrilled to partner with Signature Theatre to offer $25 mobile Lottery tickets to Disney's Freaky Friday," said Brian Fenty, co-founder and Executive Chairman at TodayTix. "Between Signature Theatre's Tony Award-winning programming and Disney's industry-leading contributions to musical theater, it's a huge honor to utilize TodayTix's technology to connect new audiences to this exciting world premiere."
