Character Descriptions

Anya
● Playing age: mid-20s
● Range: G3-F5, Soprano/Mezzo
● Anya is brave, fiery, witty, and above all determined. With no memory of her life before
age 17 and having lived through the horrors of the Russian Revolution, Anya jumps at the
sound of gunshots and is distrustful of strangers, but there is steel hiding just beneath the
surface. Anya is strong-willed and compassionate. Her mantra, “Home, love, family” is her
goal. All she knows is her family is in Paris and she will find them however she can. Is she
the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov? Only time will tell.

Dmitry
● Playing age: late 20s
● Range: A2-G4
● Dmitry is a scoundrel with a heart of gold. A street rat who grew into a con man, Dmitry
does all he does to get out of poverty and is not above lying, cheating, and stealing to do
so–that is until he meets Anya. What starts as just another scheme (albeit much bigger
than anything he’s tried to pull off before) turns into the adventure of a lifetime that
requires Dmitry to look inward and figure out how to put the one he loves before himself.

Vladimir “Vlad” Popov
● Playing age: Mid 40s-Early 50s
● Range: A2-F4
● Vlad is Dmitry’s partner in crime (literally) and surrogate father. Before the revolution he
scammed his way through society pretending to be a count. Vlad is dramatic, crafty, and a
big softie at heart. While he, like Dmitry, is not above lying, cheating, and stealing, he
cares greatly for his loved ones and is generally affable, though he can be calculating when
he needs to be.

Deputy Commissioner Gleb Vaganov
● Playing age: Mid 30s
● Range: A2-Gb4
● Gleb is the villain of the show, though not a bad person. He fully believes in the
Communist ideals he follows. Loyal, honest, and hard working, Gleb almost has the
potential to be a hero (he’s very much the hero of his own story). A deeply conflicted
person, Gleb’s infatuation (and borderline obsession) with Anya leads to his battle with the
idea of doing one’s duty vs. doing what is right.

Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch
● Playing age: 40s
● Range: G3-C5
● Lily is the lady in waiting to the Dowager Empress. She has been by the Dowager’s side
since before the revolution. Lily is clever, dutiful, and above all fun (when not working for
the Dowager). She deals with her exile from Russia with a sort of resigned dark
humor...and a LOT of vodka. She and Vlad were once an item (unbeknownst to her
oblivious husband) and rekindle their romance upon re-uniting.

Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna
● Playing age: 80
● Range:F3-Bb4.
● The Dowager Empress has lost everything she once held dear and must now put up with
imposter upon imposter who claims to be Anastasia, never allowing her to grieve in peace.
She is icy, proud, and regal (not to mention intimidating) to all but her family. Though she
has a very sharp wit, she has a warmth and deep love for Anastasia. She commands
authority and attention the minute she enters a room.

Featured and Ensemble Roles Include:
● The Romanov Family (Tsar, Tsarina, Three Romanov Sisters, Other Servants and Family
Members, Little Anastasia, Little Alexi)
● Citizens of St. Petersburg (Gorlinsky, Count Ipolitov, Black Marketeers, Marfa, Paulina,
Dunya, Comrades, Drunks, Policemen, etc)
● Parisian Citizens (Reporters, Neva Club Guests, Count Leopold, Sergei, Count Gregory,
Countess Gregory, Ballet Dancers, etc)
