The play is staged by the Peninsula Association of Performing Artists and directed by Carly Keone.
It features Aria Larsen as a woman who may \u2014 or may not \u2014 be the surviving daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, whose family was slaughtered in 1918 during the Russian Revolution.
The production is a family affair for the Larsens.
Brandy Larsen was on board as Keone\u2019s music director then took over two onstage roles, including the Tsarina, after some early cast changes.
\u201cIt is beautiful music,\u201d she said. \u201cThe opportunity to direct it has been amazing. but the opportunity to participate onstage has been just magical.
\u201cThis is a show I never expected to be in, actually,\u201d Larsen added. \u201cIt was just a crazy sequence of events that put me in it. It is one more show that I get to do with my daughter \u2014 probably my last one, because she is getting ready to go off to college.\u201d
Aria Larsen, an Astoria High School graduate enrolled at Brigham Young University in Idaho, plays Anya, the name given to a young amnesiac sheltered by nurses after the Romanovs are killed.
A third family member has played a key backstage role: Ryan Larsen, who created the set for \u201cInto the Woods\u201d last year, returned to build the set \u2014 with a surprise \u2014 for \u201cAnastasia.\u201d
\u201cThe audience will be watching what he has created,\u201d Keone said. \u201cHe does fabulous work. It is going to be fun seeing his vision.\u201d
