NTPA Repertory Theatre To Present ANASTASIA in June

North Texas Performing Arts Repertory Theatre has revealed the cast and creative team for the musical ANASTASIA to open the Plano Summer Musicals series at the Willow Bend Center of the Arts, Rodenbaugh Theatre, June 14-23, 2024.

This dazzling show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family. With its opulent settings, dazzling costumes, and a soaring score including the song favorites from the hit animated film, "Journey to the Past" and "Once Upon a December," ANASTASIA is the spectacular musical about discovering who you are and defining who you're meant to be.

The incredible creative team is helmed by Director Nick Mann, Music Director Preston Page, Choreographer Jacob Hemsath and Stage Managers Arianna Cinello and Caleb Ross.

The amazing cast includes NTPA alums and stage veterans including NTPA Alum Elizabeth Brockman as Anya, NTPA Alum Corbin Ross as Dmitry, Shawn Lane as Gleb, Brandon Borick as Vlad, NTPA Alum Bella Correa as Countess Lily, Andrea Fernandez Tom as Dowager Empress and NTPA Students Jillian Everett, Macy McDonough, and Pia Rico as Young Anastasia. The impressive ensemble also includes many NTPA Alum and stage veterans including Madelyn Arriola, Sawyer Bell, Giovanny Castro, Qwali Chatman, Timothy Chong, Megan Lemonds, Tony Lopez, Gigi Magnum, Lilly Mehari, Grace Raber, Madeleine Sandoval, Ellie Sassano, Zoie Wade, and Ethan Yang.

The runtime is 2 hours and 25 minutes and the show is recommended for all ages. Tickets range from $20-32. The show runs for two weekends with evening performances at 7:30 pm and matinees at 2:30 pm. A special ASL interpreted performance will be held on Saturday, June 22 at 2:30 pm. The recommended seating for optimal viewing of the ASL interpreter is the left side of the theater.
