Though it may not have reached the typical Disney-classic levels of notoriety, 1997’s Anastasia had an incredible hold on us growing up. In fact, by the time DVD Players came about we were 3 tangled-up VHS copies of the movie deep. Even now, we still recognize that the music from the film is an absolute treasure.
For this reason, it’s really no surprise that, while it may not have made it to Disney+, it has made it to Broadway and this winter, Vancouverites who rewatched the film relentlessly growing up, can catch it live in all its glory at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre!
Very loosely based on the real-life Romanov family, Anastasia follows Dimitri, a con man who has spent years searching for a missing heiress in hopes of claiming a reward from Russia’s royal family. After meeting a girl with no memories of her past, he convinces her to play the part and follow him to Paris to meet her ‘grandmother.’
