I imagine this is related to the US tour next year, as it was announced yesterday that it will play in Los Angeles.

Maybe it'll open in Moscow? Paris?

Just saw this last night for the 2nd time on Broadway (1st show of this trip). It was fabulous. Not the most thought provoking night at the theatre, but hey, it’s a musical based on a 90’s kids animated movie. It was FAB U LOUS.
Glad to see it again as it announced it closure for the end of this week, not long after I booked my tickets.
Christy Altomare is a star. Really glad to have seen her again. Not sure if it due to the fact that she is now in the final week of a 2 year run, but she was even more emotional than when I saw it last year. Her voice just soars.
Cody Simpson is no Derek Klena, in fact last time I didn’t even see Derek Klena, so will change that to- Cody Simpson is no Kyle Brown (the wonderful easy on the eyes god like figure who I saw as Dimitry last year, and in the ensemble last night. The acting was done mostly with his arms which started to get annoying. The middle register of his voice was decent enough, but any high notes or low notes were just not good. I was surprised when he got to the final note of My Petersburg, that it actually came out sounding good.
The rest of the cast were also fantastic especially John Bolton and Lily (can’t remember the actresses name, and don’t have the playbill handy)
Also had the BCEFA collection, I’m a sucker for a signed poster, but they had 3 different ones on offer, I practically just handed over all my money, but and got the 3 posters and a signed playbil. Had to make my friend promise to slap me if I even thought about donating to charity at a show ever again.
Still a wonderful night, glad to have gotten the chance to see it again in the Great White Way

Saw this in Madrid last week and I really enjoyed it. Good songs, good performances looking forward to buying the Spanish soundtrack on CD (when it comes out).
The only negative for me was the screen use. Too much and too realistic. The final picture of an impressionist painting style is how the whole show should be.

Stage Entertainment who produce this recently released the German cast recording of the Stuttgart production.
I bought the CD as I love the score and mainly as I wanted to hear if the orchestrations had changed much since the Broadway premiere.
Was very disappointed to find they had used the Broadway CD orchestra and backing tracks and just added the German lead vocals over it (they did the same years ago with the German Wicked CD....)
Anyway, I therefore wouldn't be at all surprised if they do the same thing with the Spanish CD. In fact I'd expect it.

Tour the country and see how it fares and then announce a West End transfer if it’s successful. That way they don’t lose much because if it’s not a success they can say “it was never our intention to transfer” etc.

Saw this in Madrid last month, stunning production, worthy of a West End run.

Is the Spanish recording the Spanish cast singing over the OBC orchestra? This is what they did with the German cast recording and as this is also Stage Entertainment I imagine they have done this again. Which would be a shame as I'd like to hear the most up to date version of the orchestrations. Also cast recordings somehow gel better when the orchestra and vocals are recorded as one by the same production team. Probably only in my mind, but anyway....

@sharpe12, based on these song samples I think the new Dutch cast recording has recorded the orchestra anew? In any case, this cast recording includes the 'Paris Holds The Key To Your Heart' reprise which has replaced 'Crossing A Bridge'. I'm not sure if the Madrid cast recording includes either song. The 'Prologue' also sounds a little different in the Dutch sample, although perhaps they just recorded more of the same version which was used on Broadway. music.apple.com/nl/album/anastasia-broadway-musical-origineel-nederlands-castalbum/1486358248

Here's a highlights reel from the Japanese production. It looks to be a replica production, but this video does provide a few glimpses of the staging not seen in other official videos (as far as I know).
