Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day!

Although the Czar did not survive,
One daughter may be still alive!
The Princess Anastasia!
[FRIGHTENED MAN]
But please do not repeat!
[ALL]
It's a rumor,
A legend,
A mystery!
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crakc!
It's a rumour
That's part of our history.
[A BABUSHKA]
They say her royal grandmama
Wil pay a royal sum

To someone who can bring the princess back!
[BLACK MARKEETER #1]
A ruble for this painting!
It's Romanov, I swear!
[BLACK MARKETEER #2]
Count Yusopov's pajamas!

[BLACK MARKETEER #3]
I got this from the palace
It's lined with real fur!
[BLACK MARKETEERS]
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her!
[DIMITRI]
It's the rumor,
The legend,
The mystery!
It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly!
You and I friend
Will go down
In history!
We'll find a girl to play the part and teach her what to say,
Dress her up and take her to Paree!
Imagine the reward her dear old Grandmama will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich
[VLADIMIR]
We'll be rich!
[DIMITRI]

Journey to the Past
Heart, don't fail me now!
Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear!
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey...to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, starting now, I'm learning fast
On this journey...to the past
Home, Love, Family
There was once a time
I must have had them too
Home, Love, Family
I will never be complete
Until I find you...
One step at a time,
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
On to find my future,
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign!
Let this road be mine!
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home... at last

Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back now that we're here

On the wind, cross the sea
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be home with me

Once Upon a December - sung by Anya
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
(Instrumental interlude)
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December

In the Dark of the Night
[RASPUTIN]
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be --
It scared me out of my wits --
A corpse falling to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was...me!!
I was once the most mystical man in all Russia.
When the royals betrayed me they mad a mistake!
My curse made each of them pay
But one little girl got away!
Little Anya, beware,
Rasputin's awake!
[CREATURES]
In the dark of the night evil will find her
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Aah...
[RASPUTIN]
Revenge will be sweet
[RASPUTIN AND CREATURES]
When the curse is complete!
[ALL]
In the dark of the night
[RASPUTIN]
She'll be gone!
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning!
Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell!
AS the pieces fall into place
I'll see her crawl into place!
Dasvidanya, Anya, your grace, farewell!
[CREATURES]
In the dark of the night terror will strike her!
[RASPUTIN]
Terror's the least I can do!
[CREATURES]
In the dark of the night evil will brew.
Ooh!
[RASPUTIN]
Soon she will feel that her nightmares are real.
[ALL]
In the dark of the night
[RASPUTIN]
She'll be through!
[CREATURES]
In the dark of the night
Evil will find her
Find her!
Ooh!
In the dark of the night terror comes true.
Doom her!
[RASPUTIN]
My dear, here's a sign --
[RASPUTIN AND CREATURES]
It's the end of the line!
[ALL]
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
[RASPUTIN]
Come my minions,
Rise for your master,
Let your evil shine!
Find her now,
Yes, fly ever faster
[ALL]
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
[RASPUTIN]
She'll be mine!

Learn to do it (Waltz Reprise)
[VLADIMIR]
It's one-two-three and suddenly
I see it at a glance --
She's radiant
And confident and born to take this chance.
I taught her well.
I planned it all!
I just forgot...
Romance!
Vlad, how could you do this?
How will we get through this?
I never should have let them dance!

Learn to do it
[VLADIMIR]
You were born in a palace by the sea.
[ANASTASIA]
A palace by the sea?
Could it be?
[VLADIMIR]
Yes, that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.
[ANASTASIA]
Horseback riding? Me?
[VLADIMIR]
And the horse...
[DIMITRI]
He was white!
[VLADIMIR]
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
[DIMITRI]
Threw him in the brook!
[ANASTASIA]
Was I wild?
[DIMITRI]
Wrote the book!
[VLADIMIR]
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!
[DIMITRI]
Imagine how it was!
[VLADIMIR]
Your long-forgotten past!
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is gonig fast!
[ANASTASIA]
All right...I'm ready!
[VLADIMIR]
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
[DIMITRI]
And do not walk, but try to float.
[ANASTASIA]
I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?
[VLADIMIR]
Like a little boat!
[DIMITRI]
You give a bow.
[ANASTASIA]
What happens now?
[VLADIMIR]
Your hand receives a kiss!
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Most of all remember this:
[VLADIMIR]
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.
[DIMITRI]
Something in you knows it --
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
There's nothing to it!
[VLADIMIR]
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it too!
[VLADIMIR]
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
[DIMITRI]
And never slurp the stroganoff.
[ANASTASIA]
I never cared for stroganoff!
[VLADIMIR]
She said that like a Romanov!
[DIMITRI]
The Samovar.
[VLADIMIR]
The caviar.
[ANASTASIA]
Dessert and then goodnight?
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Not until you get this right!
[VLADIMIR]
If I can learn to do it
[DIMITRI]
If he can learn to do it
[VLADIMIR]
You can learn to do it!
[DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it
[VLADIMIR]
Pull yourself together
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
And you'll pull through it!
[VLADIMIR]
Tell yourself it's easy
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it too!
[VLADIMIR]
Next, you must memorize the names of the royalty.
Now here we have Kropotkin
[DIMITRI]
Shot Potemkin
[VLADIMIR]
In the Botkin.
[ANASTASIA]
Oh!
[VLADIMIR]
And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka
[DIMITRI]
Got it Anya?
[ANASTASIA]
No!
[VLADIMIR]
The Baron Pushkin
[ANASTASIA]
He was...?
[DIMITRI]
Short!
[VLADIMIR]
Count Anatoly
[ANASTASIA]
Had a... ?
[DIMITRI]
Wart!
[VLADIMIR]
Count Sergei
[DIMITRI]
Wore a feathered hat.
[VLADIMIR]
I hear he's gotten very fat.
[ANASTASIA]
And I recall his yellow cat!
[VLADIMIR]
I don't believe we told her that.
[ANASTASIA]
If you can learn to do it,
I can learn to do it!
[VLADIMIR]
Don't know how you knew it
[ANASTASIA]
I simply knew it!
Suddenly I feel like someone new...
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Anya, you're a dream come true!
If I can learn to do it,
[ANASTASIA]
If I can learn to do it
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it!
[ANASTASIA]
You can learn to do it.
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Pull yourself together
[ALL THREE]
And you'll pull through it!
[VLADIMIR]
Tell yourself it's easy,
[ALL THREE]
And it's true --
[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it,
[ANASTASIA]
Nothing to it!
[ALL THREE]
You can learn to do it too!

At the Beginning - by Richard Marx & Donna Lewis
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
