‘Anastasia’ returns to North Texas

Did Russia’s royal family, the Romanovs, die out entirely at the end of the 1918 Revolution, or was the child Anastasia spared? It’s a mystery that has lingered for a century, becoming a live-action melodrama in 1956 and later an animated movie musical. Those threads coalesce in the stage musical Anastasia which, after a run at Fair Park Music Hall earlier this year, opens for a week-long stint at Bass Performance Hall.
