It's time to bring out the child in you as the '90s animation 'Anastasia' is about to hit the Broadway.

The Broadway musical will be inspired by the 20th Century Fox's 1997 animated film, reports the Independent.

It is an adaptation of a notorious Russian legend, in which the young Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna is said to have escaped death at the hands of the Bolshevik secret police on 17 July 1918.

The producers revealed that they plan to stage the Broadway in New York during the 2016-17 seasons.

The score for the musical will be given by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, who composed the original songs.
