The beloved musical has been enchanting audiences at Manhattan’s lovely Broadhurst Theatre since April 2017, and this is a cast update we’re super excited about seeing Cody flex another side of his performance talents.
The show, inspired by the 1997 Fox animated movie, follows the story of Anya — or, Anastasia — a lost Russian princess who loses her memory of the grand palace life she grew up in. Dmitry is a character who originally sets out to take advantage of Anya’s confusion. But the two set out on a totally romantic journey to Paris together that changes everything.
Set to a charming soundtrack featuring classics like “Once Upon a December” and “Journey to the Past,” we know this show will have us in tears.
You can pick up tickets for current performances and Cody’s 11-week run on the musical’s website, or by visiting the box office at the Broadhurst Theatre, located at 235 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036.
