Anastasia follows a young woman on a thrilling journey to uncover the truth about her past. With the help of a charming con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat, Anya races across Europe, pursued by a determined Soviet officer, in a story filled with adventure, courage and love. Based on the 20th Century Fox animated film, Anastasia ran on Broadway for two years from March 2017 to March 2019. The show features a book by Terrence McNally.
This concert production is part of MCP’s Broadway Series. Previous performances in the series include Children of Eden, Ragtime, Titanic, The Secret Garden, Parade, Crazy for You and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
