I was wondering for anyone who has seen Anastasia out of town. If the song "At the beginning" is in the show. Thanks
Hiya! I saw it and it was not in the show.
But they did use parts of it as an instrumental underscore at some point in the show if I remember correctly. I only noticed because I, too, was expecting the song to pop up :)
Yeah, it's an instrumental before the finale. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they added it in the final Broadway version
That's my favorite song from the movie. I hope they bring it back.

I'm still holding out hope that they include it as a bonus track on the cast recording.
Neon is right... there's no real place for it in the musical. When I saw it in Hartford, it was a fun easter egg to hear the instrumental before the finale. Rasputin's theme makes a similar appearance.
Although it's not in the show, Christy Altomare and Derek Klena sang At The Beginning at 54 Below recently. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsuOkFEz8A4
It's also in a style that would clash terribly with the rest of the score.
