Even technically the song wouldn't work. They wouldn't have room on stage to learn much.

They could re-work the song or create a new one, we need to know how she learns all of the information about her family.

Angela Lansbury should definately do it, it is HER role.

Kerry Butler could also be Anastasia, LOL.

I want to play Anastasia! Ever since the movie came out, I always thought it would make a fabulous stage musical.

3 fabulous female leads for 3 fabulous broadway ladies...

I'd like to see Disney's "Aladdin" and "The Nightmare before Christmas".

Don Bluth's "Anastasia"

20th Century Fox's "Ever After" and "Moulin Rouge"

And I want Disney to bring the German "Der Glockner Von Notre Dame" to Broadway...but in English.

The Producers is one od Broadway's biggest successes of a movie to stage transition. However, I am apprehensive about the plan to do another NEW movie of The Producers. It will have to not only meet the expectations of the original 1968 movie but also the 2001 Broadway hit. Talk about pressure!

There is a musical version of Alice In Wonderland. It it's called Alice In Wonderland, but the name escapes me. It opened, I believe in 1979.

Also, Eva LeGalliene adapted it to the stage as a play in the 20s.

FOUND IT!!!!!!!
The musical version of Alice In Wonderland::
BUT NEVER JAM TODAY. It opened at the Longacre Theatre on July 31, 1979 and tanked in a week, closing on August 8 after * perormances. Updated On: 6/6/03 at 07:53 PM

I believe the musical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland was titled Alice in Concert. It opened at the Public Theatre December 9, 1980.

That was another one, but it wasn't a full staging.

Funnily enough I have been thinking about how well "Moonstruck" would adapt as a musical, with the "Cinderella" elements & the mature love story/s and the "famillia" stuff. Lotta po tential!
