I remember knowing about the Merrimack Rep production. I might even have still been east at the time. The name put me off in its cynicism, and -- as I mentioned -- I have limited interest for Anastasia-based musicals: I've never seen the film or was interested in the second recording. But I do like to know how things evolve, so I may eventually chase down some of the material. And it's interesting to know that the song Anna is trying to place eventually turns into the song that makes her connection to her "grandmother." That's a much better use of it. As I said in the earlier note, the new book seems enormously better than the original. I wonder why the show didn't come to New York in the wake of Grand Hotel's financial success. Perhaps still too much of a perceived operetta.
