10 Reasons To Love The Film 'Anastasia'

So, you may or may not have heard, but the 1997 20th Century Fox film "Anastasia" is being altered for the STAGE as early as this coming March!!! That's right, following the footsteps of other children's film adaptations such as "Lion King" and "Cinderella," this classic story is going to be a Broadway show starting March 23, 2017. In honor of this momentous new development, I revisited some of the best parts of the film to build up your excitement even more!

For more information about the play, visit the official site: http://anastasiabroadway.com/ and keep in mind that individual ticket sales start in October! *eeeeeeek*

1. The music.

Even better when you're old enough to appreciate it.

2. The fact that it brings some perspective to a time and place not often talked about (for kids at least) -- Russia in 1916.

Though it is important to note that the "history" it portrays is far from accurate.

3. The absolutely kick-ass names.

Anastasia? Dimitri? Rasputin?? I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't typically hear those every day.

4. It stars Meg Ryan and John Cusack.

YEAH, 10-year-old me didn't realize this, either.

5. The music box (& the story around it).

Which is even cooler in person... a fact I can attest to.

6. It's completely underrated.

There are far too many children of the 1990s who have not seen this movie.

7. The outfits.

Aka my dream prom dress.

8. No, really.

She literally glimmers.

9. The imagery.

Because this scene still gives me chills.

10. Oh and, the music.

Just in case you didn't pay attention the first time I mentioned it.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
