Inspired by the beloved films, ANASTASIA transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
With its opulent settings, dazzling costumes, and a soaring score including the song favorites from the hit animated film, “Journey to the Past” and “Once Upon a December,” ANASTASIA is the spectacular new musical about discovering who you are and defining who you’re meant to be.
Journey to the fabricated past. Many are familiar with the worldwide phenomenon that was, and still is, Anastasia. Even after DNA findings in 1991 began to hint that the Russian Grand Duchess did not actually evade regicidal execution by the Bolsheviks, the world still romanticised her escape and the 1997 film transformed the legend into a modern fairytale. Even Russians who were well aware of the film’s many historical inaccuracies found the film to be nothing short of spectacular, complete with masterful storytelling and engaging Walt Disney-esque songs. The Fox Studios film was, in fact, one of the first non-Disney films to use the 'Disney formula' and challenge Walt Disney Studios (the film was later acquired by Disney anyway) and now, the fantastical story has received the full Broadway treatment! Anastasia currently runs on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre and many West End theatre fans are dying to see HRH in London! As part of our #WestEndWishList series, we are bringing you everything you need to know about Anastasia, both in real life and in fiction.
