Freckleface Strawberry is just like everyone else – except for one thing. She has red hair. And something worse…FRECKLES! How she got them was a mystery!

The kids at school are obsessed with her freckles and it’s a bit too much for Freckleface Strawberry. She will do just about anything to get rid of them: scrub them with soap, talk to them, and even hide them!

With the help of her friends, classmates, and Mom, Freckleface learns that everyone is different – and that is precisely what makes everyone special!

With catchy tunes, energetic dance numbers, and a powerful message, “Freckleface Strawberry The Musical” will have your family bouncing with reflection, friendship, and fun.
