[TOWNSPEOPLE]

The Neva Flows, a new wind blows

And soon it will be spring

[GLEB, spoken]

We hear you, comrades! The revolution hears you! Together, we will forge a new Russia that will be the envy of all the world! The Tsar's St. Petersburg is now the people's Leningrad!

[DMITRY, spoken]

They can call it Leningrad, but it will always be Petersburg. New name, same empty stomachs

(sung)

They tell us times are better

Well I say they're not

Can't cook an empty promise in an empty pot

"A brighter day is dawning! It's almost at hand!"

The skys are gray, the walls have ears

And he who argues disappears!

[DMITRY & TOWNSPEOPLE]

Hail our brave new land

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

St. Petersburg is booming

A city on the rise

[WOMAN]

It's really very friendly

[WOMAN 2]

If you don't mind spies!

[MAN]

We stand behind our leaders

[MAN 2]

And stand in line for bread

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

We're good and loyal comrades, and our favorite color's red!

[DMITRY]

Now everyone is equal

Professors push the brooms

[DMITRY & ENSEMBLE]

Two-dozen total strangers live in two small rooms

You hold a revolution, and here's the price you pay

Thank goodness for the gossip

[MEN]

Спасибо за слухи!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

Thanks goodness for the gossip

That gets us through the day

Hey!

Have you heard?

There's a rumor in St. Petersburg

Have you heard

What they're saying on the street?

MAN}

Although the Tsar did not survive

One daughter may be still alive

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

The Princess Anastasia

[MAN]

But please do not repeat!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery

Something whispered in an alleyway

Or through a crack

It's a rumor that's part of our history

[WOMAN]

They say her royal grandmama will pay a royal sum

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

To someone who can bring the Princess back

[VLAD, spoken]

Dmitry! They've closed another border. We should've gotten out of Russia while we still could!

(sung)

St. Petersburg was lovely when royalty was in

I called myself a count as though I'd always been

I hobnobbed with the royals, but then a change of luck

The Tsar was dead, the royals fled

And, comrade, now we're stuck!

[DMITRY, spoken]

Vlad! I've been thinking about the Princess Anastasia

[VLAD, spoken]

Oh, not you too, Dmitry!

[DMITRY]

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 the girl to play the part and teach her what to say

Dress her up and take her to Paris

[VLAD]

Imagine the reward her dear old grandmama would pay

[DMITRY & VLAD]

Who else could pull it off but you and me?

[ANYA, spoken]

No!

[GLEB, spoken]

It was a truck backfiring, comrade. That's all it was. Those days are over, neighbor against neighbor. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore. You're shaking. There's a tea shop just steps from here, let me-

[ANYA, spoken]

Thank you

[GLEB, spoken]

What's your hurry?

[ANYA, spoken]

I can't lose this job. They're not easy to come by. But thank you

[GLEB, spoken]

I'm here every day!

[MAN]

A ruble for this painting

It's Romanov, I swear!

[MAN 2]

Count Yusupov's pajamas, comrade

Buy the pair!

[MAN 3]

I found this in a palace

Initialed with an A

It could be Anastasia's!

Now what will someone pay?

[DMITRY, spoken]

We need something of hers to show the old lady. How much is that music box?

[SALESMAN, spoken]

Ah, the music box! It's genuine Romanov, I could never part with it!

[DMITRY, spoken]

Two cans of beans, comrade?

[SALESMAN, spoken]

Done

[DMITRY, spoken]

Do you believe in fairytales, Vlad?

[VLAD, spoken]

Once upon a time, I did

[DMITRY, spoken]

We're going to create a fairytale the whole world will believe!

(sung)

Now it's risky, but not more than usual

We'll need papers, we'll need tickets, we'll need nerves of steel

[VLAD]

Yes, it's risky, a lot more than usual

[DMITRY]

We'll try to cross the border with our princess and our plot

[VLAD]

Hopefully disaster won't ensue

[DMITRY]

With luck, it all goes smoothly

[VLAD]

And with luck, we won't be shot

[DMITRY & VLAD]

Who else could pull it off but me and you?

[DMITRY]

We'll be rich!

[VLAD]

We'll be rich!

[DMITRY]

We'll be out!

[VLAD]

We'll be out!

[DMITRY & VLAD]

And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

I heard it from a person who

Assured me it was absolutely true

Shh!

Have you heard?

There's a rumor in St. Petersburg

Have your heard?

Comrade, what do you suppose?

[VLAD]

A fascinating mystery

[DMITRY]

The biggest con in history!

[DMITRY, VLAD, AND TOWNSPEOPLE]

The princess Anastasia

Alive or dead

Who knows?

Shh!
