It will be the same story we know and love.
Nothing beats a classic movie musical reimagined for The Great White Way. And if you loved singing along to "Once Upon a December" when you were a kid, we have the best news for you. The Anastasia musical, which originally premiered in Hartford, Connecticut, is finally coming to Broadway. It will officially open on April 24, 2017 at the Broadhurst Theatre and tickets will go on sale this fall.
The storyline corresponds to the original movie's plot and is centered around the imagined life of the last tsar's youngest daughter in Russia. Most of the cast will feature those from the Hartford production, but additional members will soon be announced. Tony Award winner Darko Tresnjak will direct the play and the animated feature's best songs will be included along with a new score. Though exact details have yet to be confirmed, the idea of old meets new is definitely an exciting twist to look forward to.
