I'm really confused about the musical's changes to the Dimitri & Anastasia relationship. Yes, they couldn't keep the Dimitri saves her child aspect. But they could keep the part where he worked at the palace and suggest that he and Anya had known each other as children and mayne liked each other, like an echo of the original movie which suggested that Dimitri probably had a little crush on her when he was small. But no. Instead we get : Oh they saw each other once as a kid at a parade and he greeted her in the crowd and their eyes met leading to a love at first sight that lasted their whole lives... Wtf seriously ? It's rubbish ! Especially since Dimitri lost a lot of his anti-hero substance in the musical. Yes, he's still a scammer but he's much more tender and smooth than his film counterpart ! For what ? Again, transform Anya's personality, I can still understand, to make her more like a Disney princess. But why Dimitri ?! My god... the musical is great to listen to and the character of Gleb fantastic, but they massacred my darling Dimitri. I love Gleb, but facing Dimitri from the original film, there is no match. But against the Dimitri of the musical, yes, Gleb wins. Why every time a villain in love is created, people prefer to invent a bland love interest ?!

THE LEGEND OF ANASTASIA
“Perhaps the myth of a surviving Nikolaevna is a lie we tell ourselves because it’s easier than accepting the slaughter of their innocent children for the sins of the parents.”
The Legend of Anastasia is a Pygmalion tale that discusses Russian history & the nuances, ups, and downs of Imperial and Soviet politics in the early 20th century. This is a rewrite and movie adaptation script of Anastasia the musical and the original 1952 French play Anastasia by Marcelle Maurette. I also took inspiration from different aspects of the Anastasia plays, films, ballets, the operetta, and stage musicals (Hartford, Broadway, the North American tours, replica and non-replica productions around the world, & one regional production).
I fell in love with the Anastasia musical (even though it’s extremely flawed) and started writing a script in 2021 of how I’d adapt it into a darker movie musical. If you enjoy Anastasia the musical, dark-mature historical fiction, and Russian history then please check out my adaption script on АО3. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
