35 roles
26. Anya is brave, fiery, witty, & above all determined. With no memory of her life before age 17 & having lived through the horrors of the Russian Revolution, Anya jumps at the sound of gunshots & is distrustful of strangers, but there is steel hiding just beneath the surface. Anya is strong-willed & compassionate. Her mantra, "Home, love, family" is her goal. Dance Requirement: Some movement. Things to Know - Lead role. Star Vehicle. Range: G3-F5, Belt to D5. Disney-esque Soprano or Mezzo.
28. Dmitry is a scoundrel with a heart of gold. A street rat who grew into a conman, Dima does all he does to get out of poverty and is not above lying, cheating, and stealing to do so–that is until he meets Anya. What starts as just another scheme turns into the adventure of a lifetime that requires Dimitry to look inward and figure out how to put the one he loves before himself. Dance Requirement: Some Movement. Things to Know - Lead role. Range: A2-G4. Baritenor.
Vlad is Dmitry's partner in crime (literally) and surrogate father. Before the revolution he softie at heart. While he, like Dmitry, is not above lying, cheating, and stealing, he cares greatly for his loved ones and is generally affable, though he can be calculating when he needs to be. Dance Requirement: Strong mover/dancer. Things to Know - Supporting Lead role. Range: A2-F4. Comic Baritone.
Gleb is the villain of the show, though not a bad person. He fully believes in the Communist ideals he follows. Loyal, honest, and hard working, Gleb almost has the potential to be a hero. A deeply conflicted person, Gleb’s infatuation (and borderline obsession) with Anya leads to his battle with the idea of doing one’s duty vs. doing what is right. Dance Requirement: None. Things to Know - Supporting Lead role. Range: A2-Gb4. Baritone with a strong upper extension.
Lily is the lady in waiting to the Dowager Empress. She has been by the Dowager’s side since before the revolution. Lily is clever, dutiful, and above all fun (when not working for the Dowager). She deals with her exile from Russia with a resigned dark humor…and a LOT of vodka. She and Vlad were once an item and rekindle their romance upon re-uniting. Dance Requirement: Strong dance ability. Things to Know - Supporting role. Range: G3-B5. Jazzy Mezzo with an upper extension.
70-80. The Dowager Empress has lost everything she once held dear and must now put up with imposter upon imposter never allowing her to grieve in peace. She is icy, proud, and regal (not to mention intimidating) to all but her family. Though, she does have a very sharp wit. She is especially warm with Anastasia both when a child and after it’s revealed that Anya really is the princess. Dance Requirement: none. Things to Know - Supporting role. Range: F3-B4. A regal Mezzo.
