@@romrom920 Yeah, he was, _in real life._ My guy was turned into a literal wizard with actual powers in the original Anastasia film, and while that's not a bad thing, it pushes the entire plot more toward the fantasy genre (which is understandable as it's a children's movie). What I admire most about the stage musical is the fact that by getting rid of the fantasy elements (Rasputin), we're left with a more mature adaptation in which the consequences of the revolution is illustrated in impressive detail. I'd argue Gleb's entire character revolves around the fact that the revolution caused generations of unrest not only in regards to politics but also the everyday lives of the Russian people of the time. That was a bit of a hot take but whatever I just like this musical a lot lol

Okay, Dimitry’s part of this-like, any part he sings in this, is my all time favorite. Just, the way Derek sings it, it just compelled me to love it so much! Like, he sings ‘the biggest con in history!’ Just like the original, and at the beginning when he’s talking about Petersburg always being the same is just filled with so much hidden resentment and sarcasm that it’s just-so perfect! I can even see the hopefulness on his face when he says ‘we’ll be out!’ And I can picture every expression! It’s honestly wonderful!

So I’m Russian and I watched this movie maybe a year ago and recently found out there was a musical and the songs are great, I love it. One problem. Did they mispronounce Rasputin in the movie? Yes. Can it get worse? Yes, if you name a character GLEB. I thought it was a nickname or something when I first saw it BUT NO. HIS NAME IS G L E B. Fun fact if you replace the G with an H you get Hleb (хлеб) which is the Russian word for bread and don’t even get me started on his last name yikes I’ve been crying with laughter for the past five minutes G L E B V A G A N O V Although I will admit that so far the Russian words that have been inserted have not been horribly butchered which is more than I can say for the original movie

Hilariously ahistorical (I'd go as far as to say historically revisionist). Two examples, if this is supposed to be 10 years post revolution (so 1927), nobody gave a fuck about the romanovs anymore, let alone admired them or wanted them back. Also, if this was 1927, the ussr was basically undergoing the beginning of what was at the time the most rapid increases of standard of living ever seen, especially when you take into count how bad things got during ww1 + the following civil war.
