About the project: Based on the 1997 animated film of the same name, Anastasia premiered on Broadway in 2016.

Range: A2-G4. “Baritenor". Playing age: 28. Dmitry is a scoundrel with a heart of gold. A street rat who grew into a conman, all he does is to get out of poverty, and he is not above lying, cheating, and stealing to do so–that is until he meets Anya.
Range: A2-F4. Comic Baritone. Vlad is Dmitry’s partner in crime (literally) and surrogate father. Before the revolution he scammed his way through society pretending to be a count. Vlad is dramatic, crafty, and a big softie at heart, but calculating when he needs to be.
