"Anastasia" Musical Searching for Performers

(Disney-esque Soprano/Mezzo: G3-F5, Belt to D5) Brave, fiery, witty, and above all determined. Her mantra, “Home, love, family” is her goal. All she knows is her family is in Paris and she will find them however she can. Strong mover.

(Baritenor, A2-G4) 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. Strong mover.

(Comic Baritone, A2-F4). 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. 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. Strong mover with excellent comic timing.

(Mezzo, F3-Bb4) The formidable and imperious grandmother of Anastasia, she 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 to all but her family, and commands authority and attention the minute she enters a room. Excellent actress.

(High Baritenor, A2-Gb4) The villain of the show, though not a bad person. He fully believes in the Communist ideals he follows. Deeply conflicted, 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.

(Jazzy Mezzo, G3-C5 w/ B5) The lady in waiting to the Dowager Empress, Lily is clever, dutiful, and brassy. She deals with her exile from Russia with a sort of resigned dark humor…and a LOT of vodka. She and Vlad were once an item (unbeknownst to her oblivious husband) and rekindle their romance upon re-uniting. Strong dancer with excellent comic timing.

(Baritone, A2-E4) A dignified and faithful aristocrat of the Russian court. Deeply loyal to the Romanov family, he embodies grace, old-world manners, and devotion to tradition. Though age and grief weigh on him, his presence conveys warmth, steadiness, and respect. Excellent singer and actor with gravitas and emotional depth. Will double in the ensemble and potentially cover other tracks.

(Baritone/Tenor, B2-G4) A stiff, pompous aristocrat in the Russian court, more concerned with appearances than loyalty or warmth. Often played with comic edge, he represents the formality and pretension of the old order. Strong character actor who can balance gravitas with humor. Will double in the ensemble and potentially cover other tracks.

(Baritone, A2-E4) The last Emperor of Russia, a noble yet weary leader facing the fall of his empire. Regal, compassionate, and paternal, he strives to protect his family while burdened with the weight of history. Should command quiet authority and dignity. Strong mover/ballroom dance. Will double in the ensemble.

(Mezzo Soprano, A3-E5) The last Empress of Russia, elegant and maternal, devoted to her children and her faith. She carries herself with grace and poise even in the face of tragedy. Warm, gentle, and spiritual, she provides emotional grounding for her family. Strong mover. Will double in the ensemble.

(Baritone, B2-G4) A rigid Bolshevik official, loyal to the new regime. Stern, humorless, and unyielding, he embodies the cold bureaucracy of revolutionary Russia. Strong character actor who can project intimidation and authority with precision. Will double in the ensemble.

(Dance Soloist) Principal dancer in the Swan Lake ballet sequence. Must be a highly skilled classical ballerina with strong pointe technique, fluid artistry, and the ability to convey both grace and tragic beauty through movement. Ethereal, elegant, and commanding on stage. Will double in the ballet ensemble.

(Dance Soloist) A featured dancer in the ballet sequence, portraying the romantic lead of Swan Lake. Must be a highly skilled dancer with excellent partnering skills, strong technique, and commanding stage presence. Should convey nobility, passion, and dramatic intensity through movement. Will double in the ballet ensemble.

Four boys and four girls with excellent dance ability, particularly in ballet and ballroom. These dancers will be heavily featured in such tracks as the Romanov children, Neva club dancers, and Royal Ballet Company.
