Christy Altomare, Ramin Karimloo, Derek Klena, and Cast of Anastasia Meet the Press

Christy Altomare, Ramin Karimloo, Derek Klena, and the cast of Anastasia met the press today at their rehearsal studio as they settle in for the final few weeks of preperation before performances begin March 23 at the Broadhurst Theatre. Opening night for the new musical is set for April 24. Check out photos from the event in the gallery below.

Anastasia features a book by Terrence McNally and an original score by Tony Award winners Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics). Tony Award-winning director Darko Tresnjak directs. Ahrens and Flaherty penned the tunes for the 1997 animated film on which the stage musical is based. They have expanded their score, which contains the songs "Once Upon a December" and "Journey to the Past," for the theatrical production.

In the new musical, a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.

The cast also features John Bolton, Caroline O'Connor, Mary Beth Peil, Zach Adkins, Sissy Bell, Lauren Blackman, Kathryn Boswell, Kyle Brown, Kristen Smith Davis, Janet Dickinson, Constantine Germanacos, Wes Hart, Ian Knauer, Ken Krugman, Dustin Layton, Shina Ann Morris, James A.
