RACTERS for ANASTASIA: THE MUSICAL — CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

Anya/Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov
● Playing age: Mid-20s
● Range: G3-F5, Belt to D5. Disney-esque Soprano or Mezzo
● Dance Requirement: Some movement

Brave, fiery, and steel-willed beneath a distrustful exterior, Anya is driven by a single mantra: "Home, love, family", as she fights to reach the Paris family she can't remember, all while the question of whether she is the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov remains unanswered.

Dmitry Sudayev
● Playing age: Late 20s
● Range: A2-G4. “Baritenor”
● Dance Requirement: Some Movement

A street rat turned con man willing to lie, cheat, and steal his way out of poverty, Dmitry finds his latest (and largest) scheme transforming into a life-changing adventure that forces him to choose love over self-interest.

Vladimir “Vlad” Popov
● Playing age: Mid 40s-Early 50s (No age really specified)
● Range: A2-F4. Comic Baritone
● Dance Requirement: Strong mover

Dmitry's partner in crime and surrogate father, Vlad is a dramatic, crafty, and deeply affectionate former con artist who charmed his way through pre-revolution society, and hasn't stopped since.

Deputy Commissioner Gleb Vaganov
● Playing age: Mid 30s
● Range: A2-Gb4. Baritone with a strong upper extension.
● Dance Requirement: None.

A true believer in Communist ideals who is loyal, hardworking, and almost heroic, Gleb is undone by his obsession with Anya, which forces a consuming internal battle between duty and doing what is right.

Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch
● Playing age: 40s
● Range: G3-C5 (Briefly sings a B5 at the end of Land of Yesterday, but the rest of the role is very Mezzo) Jazzy Mezzo with an upper extension.
● Dance Requirement: Dancer (Ideally a strong dancer)

The Dowager Empress's clever and fun-loving lady in waiting, Lily copes with her Russian exile through dark humor and vodka, and wastes no time rekindling her secret romance with Vlad upon their reunion.

Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna Romanov
● Playing age: 80
● Range: F3-Bb4. A regal Mezzo
● Dance: None

Icy, regal, and commanding, the Dowager Empress has lost everything and is forced to endure endless imposters claiming to be Anastasia. Yet beneath her formidable exterior lies a sharp wit and a fierce, enduring love for her granddaughter.

Young Anastasia/Alexei (Doubles in Ensemble as well)
● Playing age: 8-13 years old
● Featured role
● Range: C4-C5, a sweet child soprano
