About Anastasia: Youth Edition :

Her past is shrouded in mystery. Her future is an adventure waiting to unfold.

Anastasia: The Musical is a vibrant and enchanting new production that follows the journey of a young woman discovering her true identity and the path she’s meant to take. This 60-minute adaptation of the Broadway hit is designed especially for young performers.

Created by Tony Award winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty, and Lynn Ahrens, the same talented team behind Broadway favorites like *Ragtime* and *Once On This Island*, this captivating musical takes audiences from the fall of the Russian Empire to the excitement of 1920s Paris. It tells the story of Anya, a courageous young woman on a quest to uncover the secrets of her past. With the threat of a relentless Soviet officer on her trail, she teams up with a charming con artist and a lovable former nobleman. Together, they embark on a thrilling journey to find her home, her family, and her true destiny.
