We’ll explore their early collaborations like Once On This Island, to watershed shows like Ragtime, through their work in films and TV adaptations such as Rocky, Anastasia and Smash and discuss what makes an Ahrens and Flagherty show so unique, as well as Korsa’s history of their productions.

Inspired by the beloved film, Anastasia the Musical transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as 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 conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
The show runs approximately 2 and a half hours, which includes 1 intermission.
