This dissertation examines the Broadway musical Anastasia through detailed character analysis and interpretation completed over a comparative study of the historic context behind the Broadway musical script and the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. Moreover, this dissertation explores the relationship between the moral of the historical plot and the society today; and seeks to perceive a new approach in which the current society can furthermore benefit from this legendary tale. Set amidst the turmoil of the Russian revolution, Anastasia reveals the story of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia. As the Communist revolutionaries rose to power, the Bolsheviks aimed to exterminate the entire Russian higher society and Grand Duchess Anastasia became the sole survivor of the execution of the Romanov family. Resulted from Anastasia’s traumatic escape, the Duchess suffers from amnesia and falls into an identity crisis. Anastasia finds herself wandering on the streets but soon realizes that her mind constantly chases back to a dream that leads her to a city where all her answers are written, Paris. She stumbles across Dmitry and Vlad, two deceitful young scamps drafting a plan to escort a Duchess Anastasia imposter to Paris in exchange for a reward from the Dowager Empress. Anastasia agrees to embark on this adventure however, along the way she experiences nostalgia, déjà vu, and memories that puzzles up piece-by-piece whenever she sings with Dmitry. Everything began to remind Anastasia of the life she once lived and upon their arrival in Paris, Anastasia finally reunited with the Dowager Empress. Only, she rejected the opportunity to return to the noble life as a royal over an ordinary life with her lover Dmitry; letting go of everything only to be her true self. Through the analysis and interpretation of Anastasia’s role and character, a young girl’s self-reliance when faced with contradictions, independence when faced with isolation, and determination to chase that light of hope in her dreams collectively inspires the society today to possess the courage to strive forward when encountering problems and setbacks, as one step may open up countless perspectives and pathways.
