ANASTASIA is the First Broadway Show to Open in Richmond Since the Pandemic

Anastasia is now playing in Richmond, the first Broadway show to be performed in the city since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

Inspired by the beloved films, the romantic and adventure-filled new musical Anastasia is on a journey to Richmond at last!

From the Tony Award®-winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime, Anastasia transports us 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 conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.

Anastasia features a book by celebrated playwright Terrence McNally, a lush new score by Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) based on original direction by Tony Award® winner Darko Tresnjak with choreography by Peggy Hickey and tour direction by Sarah Hartmann.

Performances will run through October 31.
