First 'Anastasia The Musical' Teaser Trailer Takes Us On A Journey To The Past
The first trailer, titled "Journey to the Past," gives a first look into 'Anastasia The Musical.'
Anastasia is among those non-Disney films credited with one-upping the mega-studio at its own game. However historically inaccurate, Anastasia is among the best princess cartoons created, and it was made by Twentieth Century Fox Film and Don Bluth. While Twentieth Century Fox hasn't followed suit and started making live-action versions of its popular animated films, Broadway will be bringing the story to life next April.
This is just in time for the 20th anniversary of the animated classic from 1997. Anastasia: The Musical now has a teaser to get us excited. While the teaser — called "Journey to the Past" — doesn't give us much to go on, it does leave a haunting impression, watch it below.
Hearing those opening notes to the film's song "Journey to the Past" start the trailer would cause any Anastasia fan's heart to swell remembering the story of the orphan girl in search of her past. The trailer doesn't disappoint, with ghostly colors, shadows of the dancing figures in the ballroom, and a music box reminiscent of the one so pivotal to the film's storyline.
It's the music box Anastasia was given by her grandmother, the one with a melody that would stick with her and ultimately be the key to her claiming her identity. We may not get to see any of the characters brought to life just yet, but seeing the iconic music box memento is enough to jog all our memories of the stellar music of the film and get us plenty excited to hear it with a live orchestra on Broadway.
At least we are given a sneak listen to star Christy Altomare who will be playing the titular character and already has us wondering when pre-sales for the soundtrack go on sale.
If, like I, you are a lover of the original film, you're sure to be enchanted by this teaser. First impression suggests Anastasia: The Musical will do the film justice and we can't wait for it to hit the stage!

Mr. Grey Will See You Now (But Only As An Object): The 'Fifty Shades Darker' Trailer Still Doesn't Get The Abuse
Fifty Shades of Grey has become a bit of a phenomenon, with people on both ends either loving the romance of the story or hating it passionately for its misrepresentation of the BDSM community as well as glorifying emotional abuse. It's very similar to what we just saw unfold around Suicide Squad, where people pointed out that the relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn was presented in a misleading way, with the abuse being portrayed as romantic.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
