Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Grant Gustin will make his Broadway debut in the musical Water for Elephants.

The 33-year-old actor will star with Isabelle McCalla in the upcoming production at Imperial Theatre in New York City.

Water for Elephants is based on the Sara Gruen novel, which was previously adapted as a 2011 film starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. The story follows Jacob Jankowski, an elderly man who recounts his time at a traveling circus and his romance with a performer, Marlena.

Gustin will play Jacob, with McCalla as Marlena, Gregg Edelman as Mr. Jankowski and Paul Alexander Nolan as August.

The cast also includes Stan Brown, Joe De Paul, Sara Gettelfinger and Wade McCollum.
