After receiving rave reviews for its Melbourne, Perth and Sydney seasons, acclaimed Broadway musical ANASTASIA is heading to Adelaide this August, with tickets on sale now via anastasiathemusical.com.au.
Making its Australian debut in December 2025 at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre, the production has been a huge success, with Time Out Melbourne calling the musical a “charming theatre experience” that was “destined to deliver theatrical magic” while The Music said it was “a theatrical spectacle that dazzles on every front and will leave you spellbound.”
ANASTASIA is inspired by the mysterious tale of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov’s rumoured escape in the dawning days of the Russian Revolution, along with the Oscar-nominated 1997 animated film of the same name.
The cast for this production of ANASTASIA includes Georgina Hopson as Anya, Robert Tripolino as charming con artist Dmitry, Joshua Robson in the role of antagonist Gleb, Rodney Dobson as Vlad, the much-loved Rhonda Burchmore as Countess Lily and theatre icon Nancye Hayes AM in the role of the Dowager Empress.
The ensemble cast members include Sophia Bae, Elliot Baker, Billy Bourchier, Nicholas Cunningham, Davis Giotopoulos Moore, Todd Goddard, Stephanie Kurlow, Keian Langdon, Bella Minniti, Nathan Stafford, Alexis Van Maanen, Annie Wilson, Deone Zanotto, and Andrea Zappacosta, with the Swings team featuring Manon Gunderson-Briggs, Iosefa Laga'aia, Nathan Pinnell and Emma Russell.

Produced by John Frost for Crossroads Live and Opera Australia in special collaboration with Stage Entertainment Productions, Tom Kirdahy, Hunter Arnold and Dan Hinde, ANASTASIA is directed by Tony Award-winning director Darko Tresnjak.
Along with Tresnjak, ANASTASIA is brought to life by the Tony Award-winning creative team of Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens.
The production originally premiered on Broadway in March 2017 and earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Costume Design in a Musical. ANASTASIA has gone on to win more than 15 major international awards, including Best Musical awards in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.
“I just can’t wait to share the magic of ANASTASIA with Adelaide audiences. It’s a beautiful story to be immersed in, accompanied by iconic songs that invoke a nostalgic feeling of our shared childhood, including ‘Once Upon a December’ and ‘Journey to the Past’,” said Georgina Hopson.
