What happens when you wish you were someone else… and the universe says bet?
Natalie Primavera has a million followers, perfect technique, and the lead role in every show.
Ava Ross has a cracked phone, a boyfriend who sings like naked Miley Cyrus, and a work-study job sweeping up after other dancers.
One ancient snow globe. Two desperate wishes. And suddenly they wake up in each other’s bodies.
There’s just one problem: Natalie’s body is now in a hospital bed with a shattered hip. And Ava’s body? It’s about to dance the Sugar Plum Fairy… with ankles like wet spaghetti.
What follows is the funniest, most chaotic Nutcracker rehearsal season in history... zombie cats, possessed dolls, a Romanian ballet master who might actually be a warlock, his terrifying nine-year-old son, and a love triangle nobody ordered.
But underneath the chaos is something real: two girls discovering that the lives they envied aren’t what they seemed.
It’s Freaky Friday meets Center Stage, and it hits.
