"ANYA COME SEE!!" *Journey To The Past starts playing* "AAAAANNNNNYYYYAAAAA!!!" that whole sequence has very strong "VERONICA, DON'T FORGET THE CORN NUTS" vibes, idk why XD
I wish I had seen this live. I'm still obssessed with this movie. I've always had a crush on Dimitri. He's got a great character development. The Anya and Dimitri from the original film had so much sexual tension. Love it
*fangirly sigh* Dmitry.... DEREK ♥.♥ gosh, i think what i miss the most from the Hartford show is the ending where they do a small bit of "In a Crowd of Thousands" 'cause it's their song, you know?
I always think I'm getting over my obsession with this musical and then I get recommended a compilation like this and then bam right back in it, watching the slime tutorial and listening to the album over and over and over again
i disagree. their relationship was developed way better in the movie. their whole relationship foundation in the broadway felt so mediocre because they took out the kitchen boy plot of dimitri saving her as a child. i felt that heroic act was way more significant and climatic than him just bowing to her at a parade. felt very underwhelming. however, the music for that song was beautiful though.
Okay I'm sorry but it's kind of in poor taste to bring back the moment where Dimitry makes the offhand comment about bowing because the first connection my brain made is that Anya remembered what he said in In A Crowd of Thousands 😭 I know I'm probably reading too much into this but it does make it a little harder to go along with the belief that Anya is Anastasia.
Obviously they couldn't keep Dimitri's backstory the same with the approach in the musical but idk a crowd of thousands just doesn't do it for me. I feel like if maybe there was a line or two in there that Dimitri worked at the palace (like he did in the movie) and Anastasia had been the only one to treat him like a normal kid and that's why he fell for her at the parade, then I'd feel like it'd be a lot better.
yes in the movie its in the way you pronounced and i think the proper way its spelled is in the musical they also use one of the actual nicknames for dmitry dima (the other one is mitya)
There is full part 1 and part 2 available to watch. Just type the full name Anastasia Broadway musical. I've never got a Chance to see The show. But, just watched it 2 days ago. Absolutely in love 😍. Just be warned part 2, sometimes goes out of sync, but if can ignore and just enjoy. Then I would tell you, just enjoy every minute of it xx
