Our January 2027 show will be:

Anastasia: The Musical
This dazzling production will transport you, the 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.
Anastasia: The Musical is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Buena Vista Theatrical.
