Singing Audition for "Anastasia" Show
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ADMITTED. Seeking singers ages 9+ for the production of "Anastasia". See the details below. About the project: Based on the 1997 animated film of the same name, Anastasia is a reimagining of the beloved film for the stage. Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, who created the music and lyrics for the film, reunite with their partner Terrence McNally who together created such Broadway classics as Ragtime and Once On This Island, to bring this new stunning version to life. 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.
