The epic Ramayana, like the Mahabharata, has been open to adaptation and exists in various forms, including dance dramas and TV serials. The latest is an English musical for children directed by Jiji Subi and Vishaal Asrani, and produced by Vishaal Asrani’s Institute of Performing Arts (VAIPA). VAIPA has previously been involved in productions including The Magic of Christmas, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Little Mermaid.
