re: Is Anastasia coming on Broadway?

[moulinrougehk]

I heard a rumour about it. Is it true?

[CapnHook]

It opens tomorrow. Where have you been?

[CapnHook]

Harsh on my part, apologies. Hilarious but harsh. I've been awake for two days. Anyway...

Anastasia on Broadway has been discussed to DEATH on here. There are no announced plans.

[Effie Im TIRED]

It would be gross if she "came" on Broadway.

[Michael Bennett]

Won't ever happen.

[AnythingCanHappen]

thank you for doing it Effie. Someone had to.

[TWSFan4Ever]

eh...i can't really see it working.

[taylor_kras]

Sadly, no plans yet. an amature production may be getting statred in Chicago. If they do take it to Broadway I think Sutton should take the role. (For those who think Lea Salonga would be good, yes, but she didn't do the voice in the movie, it was Liz Calaway)

[Trekkie2]

They did an "On Ice" version a while back, isn't that enough?

[TWSFan4Ever]

how did it work on ice?

[Lizzya9]

I REALLY hope so! I love the movie and "Paris Holds The Key" would be amazing! I say Sutton Foster as Anya = )

[NathanLaneStalker]

I hated the movie.

[rockfenris2005]

Hopefully not. Just like Disney's "Pocahontas", it's a travesty of a re-write of history

[show2n2]

OMg. Go to sleep CapnHook.

TWSFan, Bartok(sp?) was a big rodent costume, and there was a lot of skaters just sitting in rotating chairs and benches as the soundtrack was played.

I take it when you ask if "Anastasia" is coming to Broadway you don't mean the incredible film with Ingrid Bergman and Helen Hayes, but the stupid , insipid anamated one. Oh, yes, by all means lets have ANOTHER recreation of a cartoon on Broadway to really show us that Broadway is a place for anything but good thought provoking theatre.

[moulinrougehk]

Actually it's one of my favourite movie, but yes, I have to admitt that it's quite lame. Thanks for the information anyway.

[Trekkie2]

"Oh, yes, by all means lets have ANOTHER recreation of a cartoon on Broadway to really show us that Broadway is a place for anything but good thought provoking theatre." As I watch Hanna Montana lip- Sync at the parade in NYC, I must say STOP THE MADDNESS!

There has already been an original musical about Anastasia called the Anastasia Affaire, written by Robert Wright (lyrics), Sergei Rachmaninoff (music), Guy Bolton, and Jerome Chodorov (book). So before we go off making movies into overly commercial stage shows, lets see if that ones any good and let Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens write new shows.

gimme 10-15 years to rewrite the whole thing, keep the few good aspects from the movie, write new music, make it slightly more historically accurate ( not too accurate though. Otherwise there would be no heroine) and the answer will be YES!
