The Hit Broadway Musical
ANASTASIA, the romantic and adventure-filled hit musical inspired by the beloved films, is now playing at the Sydney Lyric.
This dazzling production, by the Tony Award winning team Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens and Darko Tresnjak, transports you from the twilight years of the Imperial rule to the euphoria of 1920s Paris. ANASTASIA follows a brave young woman on a journey to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by an army 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.
With much-loved songs like Journey to the Past and Once Upon a December, ANASTASIA has captivated audiences around the world—hailed as “A MONSTER HIT!” by The New York Times and “Irresistible!” by Variety.
