Local Theatre to Bring the Enchanting Story of Anastasia to Life
This holiday season, Playhouse 1960 is set to transport audiences into the magical world of "Anastasia," a musical play with music and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and a book by Terrence McNally. Based on the beloved 1997 animated film, the musical weaves a captivating narrative around the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia.
