“Once upon a December…” and just in time for the holidays comes, “Anastasia: The Musical” (Youth Edition) presented by the Ocean City Theatre Company. “Anastasia: The Musical” is a spectacular new musical about discovering who you are and defining who you’re meant to be. This 60-minute adaptation of the Broadway and cinematic hit is specially tailored for OCTC’s third to eighth grade student performers.
From Tony winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, creators of such Broadway classics as “Ragtime” and “Once On This Island,” this dazzling show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
Watch the cast and crew of Anastasia: The Musical shine at the Ocean City Music Pier on Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15 and can be purchased at oceancitytheatrecompany.com or 30 minutes before each curtain on show days. “Anastasia: The Musical” (Youth Edition) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
