The show was fabulous! The adapatation was true to what I remeber from my childhood, with the addition of a few historical accuracies that I found pleasantly suprising. I would absolutely see this performance again.
Show was amazing. Acting and singing were perfect. Met some of the cast and they were all super nice. Only issue was the elevator was difficult to find for my friend with knee problems.
Beautiful music, beautiful cast, an overall beautiful experience! I brought my little sister with me and she loved it too. 5/5!
Zero Action, Zero villain, Whole story changed to some girl just going on a vacation. The songs they added had no flare and there was no big moment. Probably the worst show I have seen at the jubilee so far.
Amazing vocals, set, costumes well done, just sad they didn’t include “At the Beginning”
Great back drops and amazing performance by the team. Would love to see it again.
Costumes, music and singing were fantastic!! Great performances!
Anastasia was an amazing performance! The voices, music, stage set - riveting from the very start. Although we were up near the back, we could see & hear clearly! It was enchanting and our daughter, this was a gift to her, was spellbound by the performance. Thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance! We highly recommend it!
Thoroughly enjoyed the performance along with my daughter! Fabulous acting, singing and dancing. The sets were amazing! We were in the second balcony but the sound was great! Loved every minute of it!!
Wow, awesome as usual. The most enjoyable aspect was the way the scenery changed without any disruption to the play. Great technology, the cast and songs were great as usual.
This production followed the plot of Anastasia from the Dreamworks Animated movie. This is a story based on real life events, with some fictional characters. There were no black royal family members in Russia. The voices were strong. The choreography somewhat forced at times, but all was entertaining. Loved the ballet and the costumes. The set was sometimes stunning and at other times did not work well. Overall, It was an entertaining experience.
Sadly, as an avid Anastasia fan, I was disappointed that they didn't follow the most pivotal plot where Dimitri help them escape through a door while keeping the music box for a future use. Other than that, the actors and actresses performance was great and there were other funny and great scenes added but the first five minutes ruined it for me. I don't understand why they didn't follow through with original story, which was very important, therefore I'm only rating it as 3 stars.
The show was beautiful, I liked the direction they took the story. The performers were talented and the set pieces were wonderful. It was a wonderful birthday experience!
Anastasia has its moments. The costumes are wonderful. So many costume changes. That must be hard for the performers to pull off (literally). The songs are catchy. What you might expect in terms of Broadway fare. The voices are strong, and fit that stereotypical Broadway pallette. Even the young Anastasia, while still a child, shows promise in that musical capabilities department. My criticism, to be honest, has to do with the volume at which the show is amplified and staged. The venue I saw it at (the Calgary Jubilee Auditorium) is rather small. The sound levels would have been more appropriate for a venue five times its size (Rogers Centre in Toronto for example). These are expert singers with voices that can belt out a performance. Their microphone systems are very efficient at picking up every note. Why do we need to pretend that the audience can't hear those notes, and turn the amplifiers up to 11 in order to offer that oh so immersive (read: deafening) experience? Surely, a touring company like Broadway Canada can recognize when they are in a small venue, versus a larger venue, and adjust the speakers/amplifiers accordingly? The Calgary Jubilee Auditorium has excellent acoustics. It's not like you need to "crank it" so that the people in the upper rafters can hear. There was no need for the volume levels to climb as high as they did at times. This isn't isolated to this one performance (Anastasia) either. For whatever reason, it seems that when touring companies play a smaller venue like the Calgary Jubilee Auditorium, they all forget it is a much smaller venue. The same could be said of the performance of Hamilton last year. You shouldn't have to reach for ear plugs to keep things reasonable. I like immersive experiences as much as the next person, but not when it means I am risking permanent hearing loss. Which begs the question: Where is the Acoustics Engineer in all of this? Where is the person who knows how to adjust the sound for a smaller/larger space? Do touring companies no longer hire those people? It seems like the trend of the past 20 years is to make everything louder and louder, to give the audience something that they will remember. Permanent tinnitus shouldn't be that something.
Great show, the sets were fantastic and the cast was so talented. Amazing show, longer than many but the artistry was outstanding
I thought the show was amazing. The production was a big eye catcher and a pleasure to the ears. The only disappointment was that there was no Playbill available so I could not read up on the cast and the production. I would like to see this rectified for the next production. Thanks for a wonderful night. Both my mom and I really had a great evening of entertainment.
Anastasia was amazing. I've been going to broadway shows every year with my mother for over a decade now and it was one of my favorites I've seen. The set pieces were beautiful, the cast was amazing, funny, talented and charismatic, and it brought one of my favorite childhood stories to life on stage. Beautifully done beginning to end!
It was amazing, the cast and crew were fantastic. Loved how they incorporated Disney songs into the show
Enjoyed the show, but was disappointed in the stage sets as they relied on the screens to transform it instead of backdrops. Loved the costumes! I appreciated the history, but there was no Rasputin or dark of the night song! Overall just a good show.
Everything was perfect! The sets, costumes, music and acting. I wanted to go again the next day. Great fun for the whole family.
