​

• ​​Anya/Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov - Range: G3-F5, Belt to D5. Disney-esque Soprano or Mezzo  Playing age: 26 Anya is brave, fiery, witty, and above all determined. With no memory of her life before age 17 and having lived through the horrors of the Russian Revolution, Anya jumps at the sound of gunshots and is distrustful of strangers, but there is steel hiding just beneath the surface.

• Dmitry Sudayev - Range: A2-G4. “Baritenor”  Playing age: 28  Dmitry is a scoundrel with a heart of gold. A street rat who grew into a conman, all he does is to get out of poverty, and he is not above lying, cheating, and stealing to do so–that is until he meets Anya.

• Vladimir “Vlad” Popov - Range: A2-F4. Playing age: Mid 40s-Early 50s (No age really specified)  Comic Baritone  Vlad is Dmitry’s partner in crime (literally) and surrogate father. Before the revolution he scammed his way through society pretending to be a count. Vlad is dramatic, crafty, and a big softie at heart, but  calculating when he needs to be.

• Deputy Commissioner Gleb Vaganov - Range: A2-Gb4. Baritone with a strong upper extension. Playing age: Mid 30s  Gleb is the villain of the show, though not a bad person. He fully believes in the Communist ideals he follows.

• Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch - Range: G3-C5 (Briefly sings a B5 at the end of "Land of Yesterday," but the rest of the role is very Mezzo) Jazzy Mezzo with an upper extension.  Playing age: 40ish  Lily is the lady in waiting to the Dowager Empress. She has been by the Dowager’s side since before the revolution. Lily is clever, dutiful, and above all fun.

• Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna Romanov - Range: F3-Bb4. A regal Mezzo  Playing age: 80  She is icy, proud, and regal (not to mention intimidating) to all but her family. She does, though, have a very sharp wit. She is especially warm with Anastasia.

• Young Anastasia/Alexei (Doubles in Ensemble, too) - Range: C4-C5, a sweet child soprano  Playing age: ~5 for Young Anastasia, (cast with an older child, normally between 9 and 14), 13 for Alexei.  Young Anastasia is the willful, brave, proud, and precocious youngest daughter of the Tsar. She has a special bond with her grandmother (whom she calls Nana).
