ABOUT THE SHOW:

From the twilight of the Russian Empire to the glamour of 1920s Paris, Anastasia is the sweeping Broadway musical that tells the epic story of a young woman’s journey to discover the mystery of her past and define her own future. Orphaned and alone, Anya sets out to unlock the secrets of her identity, pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer and aided by a charming conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. As she follows the whispers of her past, Anya must decide whether she’s ready to claim the destiny that might be hers. Filled with soaring ballads, dazzling choreography, and unforgettable characters, Anastasia is a breathtaking adventure about home, love, and the courage to find where you truly belong.
