Changing Minds is a lighthearted, contemporary musical with music and lyrics by Bret Simmons and a book by David Howard. The story follows high school students Kyle and Natalie, who mysteriously switch minds after a fateful encounter in the school hallway. As they navigate each other’s lives, they experience the challenges of teenagehood from a completely new perspective—Kyle, the laid-back jock, must handle the pressures of academic success, while Natalie, the overachieving perfectionist, is forced to embrace spontaneity and social complexities. With catchy pop-style songs and witty dialogue, the show explores themes of empathy, self-discovery, and the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone.

As Kyle and Natalie struggle to undo the mind swap, they gain deeper insights into their friends, family, and even their own insecurities. Along the way, they influence those around them, proving that true change comes from understanding others’ experiences. The musical blends humor with heartfelt moments, making it a favorite for youth and high school theater productions. With an energetic score and relatable characters, Changing Minds delivers a feel-good message about growth, acceptance, and the unexpected lessons that come from walking in someone else’s shoes.
