Anastasia the Musical by Newcastle Grammar School

Journey to the past with Newcastle Grammar School’s stunning musical production, Anastasia. Inspired by the beloved animated film, this dazzling show transports audiences from faded grandeur of St Petersburg to magic of Paris in the 1920s. Experience the fairy-tale story of one woman’s search to find where she belongs: Her past is a mystery, her future is an adventure.

Following the heartbreaking events of the Russian Revolution, rumours abound Europe that the Grand Duchess Anastasia escaped the fate of her family. Dmitry and Vlad, two lovable conmen searching for a convincing imposter to claim the reward, discover Anya – an orphan with amnesia – who bears a striking resemblance to the missing princess. The three embark on a dangerous adventure, hunted by the Bolshevik general Gleb, to escape Russia and travel to Paris. While Dmitry and Vlad conspire to trick the Dowager Empress into believing Anya is her granddaughter, Anastasia, the brave and feisty Anya sets out to unlock the truth of her mysterious past and find out who she really is.

Anya’s search for home, love and family, is set to a stunning soundtrack including favourites Once Upon a December and Journey to the Past, performed by a live orchestra. The Broadway show, created by Tony Award winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, will run at Newcastle’s Civic Theatre for five performances only this August.
