Tickets are on sale now for the highly-anticipated major musical Anastasia, which will open at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre in April 2026. The hit Broadway musical will have its Australian premiere at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne in December before touring to Perth and Sydney in 2026.
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 has been brought to life on the stage by the Tony Award-winning creative team of Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens.
Anastasia is a lavish musical for all ages, transporting audiences from the twilight years of the Imperial rule to the euphoria and exuberance of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman named Anya sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by an army officer determined to silence her, she enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
With its opulent settings, dazzling costumes, and a soaring score including musical highlights from the 1997 animated hit film, “Journey to the Past” and “Once Upon a December”, Anastasia is the spectacular Broadway musical about discovering who you are and defining who you’re meant to be.
Directed by Tony Award winning director Darko Tresnjak, Anastasia premiered on Broadway in March 2017 and played to sold out audiences for three years before productions in Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico and Japan as well as two North American tours. It also received a Tony Award nomination for Best Costume Design in a Musical and won more than 15 major international awards including Best Musical awards in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.
Australian casting details will be announced in the coming months.
Don’t miss what The New York Observer calls “one of the most gorgeous shows in years,” describing it as a “luscious, lavish, and a joy that leaves you cheering—a grandiloquent feast for the senses you won’t soon forget!”
