This is so cool. A regional production of Anastasia at the White Plains Performing Arts Center, NY. It looks like they're using the same costumes, but a different set and projections.

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 ?!

beetlejuice propaganda
I'll be honest I didn't get any propaganda submitted for him. I'll ask you to just look at my icon for a few seconds and think about him real hard.
gleb propaganda
Manages to be so gd babygirl he even outshines Dmitry. He's such a wet cat of a man. That one scene where he's first properly introduced and seems like the cool, calculating villain only to immediately turn into a stuttering mess as soon as the protagonist walks in? Come ON, now. Anyway someone else will probably have done better propaganda for him than this.

EVERYONE STOP.
So. The symbolism for the Quartet at the Ballet makes little-to-no sense, right? WHY is Gleb Rothbart? He has nothing to do with anything about him!!!! Why is Dmitry Siegfried??? Right, because he's in love with Anya, who is the white swan Odette. We're not gonna mention Odile at any point except for her iconic 32 fouettes for reasons (probably because they look cool). Don't ask us any questions about the Dowager Empress we don't know how she fits into this either.
This post by my mutual @vampyrekatwrites details a much more fitting take on the Swan Lake symbolism: that Gleb should be Siegfried, Anya is Odile, and Dmitry is Rothbart, mentioning in the tags that perhaps Maria could be the Queen. I ADORE this concept. For one, it gives Maria an actual place alongside the other members of the Quartet (because this is a quartet, not a trio) and just..........makes actual sense? Rothbart is a magician. He deceives the Queen, presenting a false swan. Siegfried almost shoots the white swan, the woman he loves. And the very nature of Anya being Anastasia (and the very real possibility that she might not be, though the coincidences are a bit too coincidental and the intention of the writers was for her to be Anastasia) fits perfectly with the inclusion Odile, and the dichotomy of Odette vs Odile.
Taking this to the end of the ballet, the traditional tragic end fits perfectly as well. Odette dies, Odile lives, and Rothbart wins. Siegfried is left alone, and perhaps, dies as well. The Queen mourns her losses. Odile and Rothbart escape into the night, never to be seen again.
Like????????? COME ON the ballet had so much potential!!!!! Don't even get me started on costuming and how that could have been used! Anya, dressed in all-black rather than a white shirt and black skirt underneath her coat. Gleb wears his green uniform, the same as Siegfried. Dmitry's scarf becomes a deep purple, the accenting color of Rothbart's dark feathers. Maria's colors are less certain, as each production has their own take for the Queen, but perhaps here she matches Siegfried's green, but in a deep emerald, with white and gold. Maria wears this emerald in the opening prologue rather than purple, and throughout the rest of the show these colors peek out from underneath her mourning blacks, until she returns to green once again after her reunion with Anya.
Once in Paris, perhaps Dmitry's suit is similar to his movie counterpart in Paris Holds the Key, but a pale lilac rather than pink. Anya diverges from this color symbolism to instead wear a pale blue (blue is the color of Anastasia, from her bow to the opera dress, and here she is getting closer, but not quite there yet.) I'm kicking Vlad out of his green suit for reasons and making him wear something akin to his movie suit ala Dmitry. Both Dmitry and Anya trade in their white sleep-clothes for black. At the opera, Dmitry and Gleb wear traditional tuxedos, and (this is for you Kat) depending on which idea you like better, fake or real, Anya either wears a black gown at the opera and a more casual white dress at the reunion right after (she's Anastasia), or she wears white at the opera and black at the reunion (she's not).
For the finale, Anya's dress isn't red, but deep blue, like her original dress for the opera (interpret this threat as being evidence of her true identity, or as her fully embracing the lie, as you wish). Gleb has on a green suit, like Vlad's, which is why I kicked him out of it. Odile or Odette, he cannot kill either of them, and when Anya runs off to meet Dmitry, he still wears the purple scarf.
Or something. Idk. I like colors

But then you see her eyes. Then something in them tells you that she absolutely lies!
Until your heart replies...
