Anastasia at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts

We walked out of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts as the curtain closed on Anastasia, and simultaneously echoed our sentiments about the musical. Our expectations are always high for the National Touring Shows that perform at the center, but this particular production stunned us with its technically impressive set design and absolutely stunning costumes. Anastasia opened with thunderous applause and for all of the mystery that surrounds the infamous Romanovs, it is a show that you do not want to miss.

Anastasia

As a young girl, I was introduced to the Romanovs and the Bolsheviks during World History. Even then I found the mystery surrounding the youngest daughter, Anastasia to be fascinating. We talked about the legend of the Grand Duchess on the way home, and I found myself longing for the musical to reflect reality.

Anastasia is based on the 1997 film of the same name, which tells the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. It was hypothesized that she escaped when her family was executed by the Bolsheviks. Before the attack, her grandmother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna leaves St. Petersburg for Paris, vowing to reunite with Anastasia one day.

Years later, Anastasia sets out on a journey to uncover the mystery of her past. She joins forces with con men Dmitry and Vlad, who plan to profit from the endeavor and her semblance to the Grand Duchess.

Word that Anastasia might have survived prompts the Dowager Empress to offer a reward to help find her. But with the sheer number of imposters posing as Anastasia, the Dowager Empress loses hope. Anastasia’s journey is complicated by Bolshevik general Gleb Vaganov’s vow to wipe out the last of the Russian royals.

Anastasia’s journey to find her home, her family, and ultimately herself is beautiful, tragic, and hope-filled. With lavish costumes, immersive, tech-centric set design, and stunning vocals, Anastasia is a delightful take on a lamentable part of history.
