Inspired by Twentieth Century Fox’s classic films, the story 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.
ANASTASIA has a new score by Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) and features several songs from the beloved 1997 animated film “Anastasia,” including Ahrens and Flaherty’s Oscar-nominated hit, “Journey to the Past.” The new book is by Terrence McNally, and direction is by Darko Tresnjak.
In addition to its Broadway success, ANASTASIA has become an international stage hit. It has already enjoyed a successful first-class American tour, and first-class productions in Madrid, Stuttgart, The Hague and Japan, with more planned. Many thanks to Stage Entertainment and all our international colleagues!
