Communism.

removing Rasputin actually removes a little of the oddness of doing a musical of the Romanov massacre...slightly

The musical's up for a Lead Actress Tony and a Costume Design Tony, think it has a chance to win?

If there's no Rasputin, what's the conflict?

Not lead actress, supporting actress. Or featured actress? I'm too lazy to look up the specific term.

I think it has a chance for Costume Design (the costumes are fucking gorgeous and detailed as all get) but not sure about featured.

A communist official who happens to be the son of one of the Romanov executioners is tasked with hunting Anya down. If she is Anastasia, he is to finish the job and kill her. If she's not, he's meant to bring her back to Russia so they can make an example of her and re-educate her.

the story is now more like the Ingrid Bergman film in tone but with (mostly) good music. And a definitive "she really is Anastasia" rather than it being up in the air. Based on what I've read about the Don Bluth cartoon production, it's honestly closer to what they would have done if the studio didn't want a cartoonish villain and magic.

We'll fuck this, mind as well go watch Dr. Zhivago
