WOODBURY, Tenn. –  The musical drama Anastasia is set to open Friday, January 26th and runs through Saturday, February 10th, at the award-winning Arts Center of Cannon County.

Based on the beloved animated movie from 20th Century Fox, Anastasia is both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching dive into one of history’s biggest unanswered questions: what happened to Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov?

Set amidst the turmoil of the Russian revolution with the Bolshevik regime on the rise, Anya, an amnesiac orphan stranded in what was once the Russian capital, St. Petersburg, is on a quest to rediscover her past which she believes lies in Paris. Joined by a dashing conman, Dmitry, and an ex-aristocrat, Vlad Popov, who want to use Anya to bamboozle the only remaining Romanov, Dowager Empress Marie into believing that Anya is the lost Anastasia, she escapes to Paris with a determined Soviet officer on their heels. Including classic songs from the motion picture like “Journey to the Past” and “Once Upon a December”, Anastasia explores one determined girl’s journey to find home, love, and family as she discovers who she was and embraces who she is meant to be.

Tickets for adults start at $17 and are currently available at www.artscenterofcc.com/tickets. You can also learn more by calling 615-563-ARTS (2787), or by visiting the Box Office at 1424 John Bragg Hwy in Woodbury, TN.
