This Disney Channel Original Movie is the fifth iteration of 'Freaky Friday,' but the first in telling the story through music on screen, with the musical numbers progressing the story as well as heightening the emotion of the actions of the story. Adding song and dance to the subtext of each scene, each character's inner dialogue is emphasized and all the more relatable to the viewing audience. The story and the music gets a message across about empathy -- and how the empathy we develop for our parents extends to the rest of the world.

Disney Channel's peppy musical version of Disney favorite Freaky Friday may not erase memories of the popular 1976 and 2003 movies, but the clever score by Pulitzer Prize winners Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) brings a fresh, fun energy.
