Disney India has announced plans to bring the timeless classic Beauty and the Beast to the Indian stage for the first time ever. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, this classic musical love story has been planned to be presented to Indian audiences on the same scale as the mega-productions seen on New York's Broadway and on London's West End.

The musical will be completely developed locally in India, while retaining the original script and music of the Broadway show. The production will be in English at 130 minutes in duration, with select shows across Mumbai and Delhi from October to December 2015.

''At Disney India, we are always thinking of ways in which to bring our audiences truly memorable world class entertainment experiences, and this pioneering effort to locally produce one of our most beloved Broadway musicals, is another example of that ongoing effort,'' said Siddharth Roy Kapur, Managing Director, Disney India.

Disney India is said to bring on board local talent, who will work closely with renowned International artists to recreate the musical in India. Some prominent names involved in the Indian production will include - Vikranth Pawar (Show Director and Creative Head, Live Entertainment at Disney India), Lesle Lewis (Music Direction), Terence Lewis (Choreography), Varsha Jain (Set Design), Gavin Miguel (Costume Design), Pallavi Devika (Hair & Make-up) and Suzanne D'Mello (Vocal Training).
