Broadway musical Anastasia is touring to Crown Theatre Perth in March 2026
Broadway musical Anastasia will take audiences on a journey into the past when the Australian production tours to Crown Theatre Perth in March 2026. Presented by John Frost for Crossroads Live and Opera Australia, the lavish musical is inspired by the mysterious tale of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov's rumoured escape in the dawning days of the Russian Revolution, and the 20th Century Fox animated fairytale of the same name. Anastasia premiered on Broadway in March 2017 with Australian musical theatre legend Caroline O'Connor in the role of Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch, the season receiving a Tony Award nomination for best costume design in a musical. It went on to win more than 15 major international awards for productions in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. The score includes songs from the 1997 animated film, Journey to the Past and Once Upon a December. The Australian premiere will be at Melbourne's Regent Theatre in December, following brave young woman Anya as she sets out to discover the mystery of her past, travelling from the twilight years of the Imperial rule to the euphoria and exuberance of Paris in the 1920s. Throw in a dashing conman and loveable ex-aristocrat, plus an army officer in pursuit determined to silence Anya, and the musical becomes an epic adventure about finding home, love and family. 'The legend of Anastasia has intrigued the world for many years, and I've been wanting to bring this musical to Australia since it premiered on Broadway in 2017,' producer John Frost said, with casting to be announced in coming months. 'It's a story full of mystery and romance with a magnificent score that I know Australia is going to fall in love with.' Waitlist tickets are available now, with general public tickets on sale July 4. More at
