Anastasia is a musical with music and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and a book by Terrence McNally. Based on the 1997 film of the same name, the musical tells the story of the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, which claims that she in fact escaped the execution of her family. Anastasia, who appears in the plot as an eighteen-year-old amnesiac orphan named Anya, hopes to find some trace of her family and sides with con men who wish to take advantage of her likeness to the Grand Duchess.
The original production of Anastasia premiered at Hartford Stage in Hartford in May 2016, with direction by Darko Tresnjak and choreography by Peggy Hickey, and starring Christy Altomare and Derek Klena as Anya and Dmitry, respectively.
