Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
LED screens and projectors by Christie played a significant role in transporting audiences to a world of magic and enchantment with fascinating visuals at Disney’s musical theater extravaganza ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which premiered in Mumbai, India, on October 21, 2015.
Presented by Disney India, the stage version of the highly popular animated film features over 100 of the best musical theatre performers in India and adds Indian influences to the meticulously choreographed performances. The 130-minute production is in English with shows in Mumbai and Delhi from October to December, 2015. In Mumbai, it is being performed at Dome@NSCI, SVP Stadium, with the Delhi performances staged at Thyagaraj Sports Complex. Each venue seats about 2,500 people.
As the official visual technology partner of India’s first ever Disney musical event, Christie deployed five Christie Roadster HD20K-J 3DLP projectors for the performance. Audiences see brilliant and realistic images projected on the elaborately decorated stage sets, such as Belle’s House, Tavern, Clock Tower, Beast’s castle area with Belle’s bedroom, and many others. The show is an immersive Broadway-type show with a select audience having the opportunity to join the action and experience the fairy tale on swivel chairs with 360-degree rotation.
