Open auditions for ANASTASIA the musical
Family entertainment on tap this spring at Curtain Call, Stamford
Curtain Call, Stamford, CT, is holding open auditions for its spring musical, ANASTASIA, Monday and Tuesday, January 19 and 20, at the Sterling Farms Theatre Complex, 1349 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06905.
Anastasia, part of Curtain Call's 35th anniversary season, 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, the Dowager Empress, 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.
Gail Yudain is directing, Benjamin Doyle is musical director and Kelly Nayden is choreographer for this production which will play in The Kweskin Theatre, March 27 through April 18.
Auditions will be held from 7pm to 9pm each night, January 19 and 20. Rehearsals begin Monday, February 2 and will generally be held Monday through Thursday evenings, 7pm to 10pm. Additional details are available at www.curtaincallinc.com/auditio... or you may write to info@curtaincallinc.com.
