broadwaycom: Congratulations @christyaltomare! Fans named her the Broadway.com Star of the Year!

Home, love, family, there was once a time I must’ve had them too.

Anyone else notice that the first painting is all stormy and the second is all clear and calm with lyrics, “I’m doing better than I ever was”

Spread the word y’all! It would be real neato burrito

I had a really hard day today, and coming home to this post card (the LOB card arrived yesterday) was such a treat, it instantly brightened my day! Christy is such a lovely and sweet human, I am constantly in awe of her kindness and happy that there’s someone like her playing this iconic role.

Kathryn Boswell and Zach Adkins will be on for Anya and Dmitry tonight! (Oct. 11, 2017)

The cast and crew of Anastasia The Musical recording the Original Broadway Cast Album

Many people don’t know that the real-life Anastasia AND the real-life Maria both left the room their family was executed in alive. The daughters were wearing corsets with gems and diamonds sewn inside them, which worked as bullet-proof vests. They were shot at over and over, but still did not die. Many soldiers ran from the sight, claiming it was God’s will that the daughters be left to live. Olga and Tatiana were both shot in the head after shooting them in the chest did not work. Maria and Anastasia had fainted from fear; when the bodies were being moved, Maria sat up and screamed. The head executioner “hit her in the face with the back of a rifle until she stopped screaming,” according to one biographer. Anastasia, some soldiers claimed, was helped out of the truck holding the bodies when she woke up and ran. It was later proven that, whether she ran or not, she died that night with her family – either from the soldiers catching her or from her already sustained wounds.
