The "Freaky Friday" musical is coming to Disney Channel with Heidi Blickenstaff and Cozi Zuehlsdorff playing the lead roles.

Based on Disney's recent stage version of Mary Rodgers' 1972 novel of the same name, this TV musical will star Blickenstaff as Katherine and Zuehlsdorff as her daughter Ellie, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Directed and executive-produced by Steve Carr, the cast also includes Ricky He, Alex Desert, Jason Maybaum, Kahyun Kim, Dara R Moss, Jennifer LaPorte, Isaiah Lehtinen, and Sarah Willey.

Pulitzer Prize-winning composers Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey are working on the music and lyrics.

"Freaky Friday" has been made into two movies. The 1976 version starred Barbara Harris and a young Jodie Foster, while the 2003 version featured Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the mother-daughter roles.
