ABC Family will premiere its first movie musical, Elixir, in 2012, with production beginning Sept. 26 in Pittsburgh.

The two-hour musical will star Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), as Harper, a former Broadway dancer-turned choreographer, whose daughter quits dancing in order to wed supposed playboy Marco. Harper commits herself to stopping the marriage, and in the process, accidentally drinks an elixir that turns her 30 years younger.

Elixir will be directed by Sanaa Hamri and executive produced by Debra Martin and Chase and Terry Rossio, who also wrote the script, alongside Jaylnn Bailey. Gaylyn Fraiche will also produce.

• Sounds wonderful, I'm a huge fan of Jane Seymour, just hoping her character doesn't disappear halfway through the movie after she drinks the elixir . Bravo to ABC Family for trying something different!
