SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Broadway’s musical “Anastasia” will take the Mary W. Sommervold Hall stage on June 17 and 18, 2022.

“Anastasia” transports the audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.
