“Once upon a December…” and just in time for the holidays comes this thrilling musical for the whole family.  Her past is a mystery.  Her future is an adventure.  Inspired by the beloved film, Anastasia transports us from the wintery twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s as a brave young woman sets out to discover if she’s the legendary Russian Princess. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to find home, love, and family.  Featuring favorites from the hit animated film, “Journey to the Past” and “Once Upon a December,” Anastasia is a spectacular musical about discovering who you are and defining who you’re meant to be.
