Anastasia: The Musical is a sweeping, romantic adventure set in the twilight of the Russian Empire and the vibrant 1920s Paris. The story follows a young woman named Anya, an amnesiac orphan with a mysterious past, who may be the lost Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. Guided by the conman Dmitry and his partner Vlad, Anya embarks on a journey to reclaim her identity and family, all while being pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence the Romanov legacy. As she travels from Russia to Paris, Anya uncovers hidden memories, love, and her true destiny. With a compelling book by Terrence McNally, enchanting music by Stephen Flaherty, and poignant lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, the musical explores themes of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of family.
