Anastasia

A wintertime favorite with adventure and romance to spare, this musical adaptation of the 1997 animated classic retains the story’s historical origins, as the amnesiac title character escapes her oppressive life in imperialist Russia and hopes to reconstruct her past with the unlikely help of a con artist and ex-aristocrat. Celebrated playwright Terence McNally wrote the book for the musical. Slow Burn Theatre at Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale (954-462-0222). Dec 21–Jan 5: various show times; $72 and up.
