On today’s episode, we’re looking at another hit animated movie musical adapted for the Broadway stage with Anastasia. This 2017 stage musical, adapted from the 1997 animated film, explores the question of whether Anastasia Romanov truly survived the 1918 assassination of the Imperial Russian family.
We’ll chat all things Ahrens and Flaherty, as well as notable changes made from the 1997 film to its 2017 stage adaptation.
