Anastasia at Toland Theatre: Anya’s search for belonging
Anya’s search for her identity unfolds between the waning Russian Empire and Paris. In this musical, danger and humor share space with romance, hope and the question of where—and with whom—she belongs.
A journey shaped by identity and chosen family
Anya sets out to learn who she is and find a place to belong. The story places that search in a world spanning the Russian Empire and Paris, and combines moments of danger and humor with unexpected love.
Belonging and chosen family are among the musical’s central themes. That focus gives the adventure a personal through-line: Anya’s search for her past is also a search for connection.

Book, music and lyrics have distinct creators
Terrence McNally wrote the book; Stephen Flaherty composed the music; and Lynn Ahrens wrote the lyrics. The production’s credited team also includes director Mary Trotter, music director Kathryn Skemp Moran and choreographer Ashley Dobrogosz.
Those credits trace the work from its written story and score to the direction, musical leadership and choreography of UWL’s production.

Prices vary by purchase method
Online tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for senior citizens and non-UWL students, and $8 for UWL students. A small credit-card processing fee is added at checkout. In person or by phone, tickets are $24 for adults, $22 for senior citizens, non-UWL students and military, and $10 for UWL students; processing and printing fees are included.
Online sales began October 1, 2026. The box office is in the Lowe Center for the Arts; call 608-785-6696. Its listed hours are Monday through Friday, 1–3 p.m., and one hour before performances during the April 19–May 2 run. UWL’s general policy says in-person and phone sales open on the Monday before a production begins.
The box-office policy lists cash, check, MasterCard and Visa as accepted payment methods, but also says all tickets will be charged to a MasterCard or Visa. Because those statements do not clearly explain whether cash or check can be used, confirm with the box office before relying on either. For phone orders, the policy says tickets are held at the box office and the credit card is charged immediately, even if tickets are not picked up.
