The Fabergé eggs (яйцо Фаберже) were first created in 1885 when Emperor Alexander III commissioned Peter Carl Fabergé to create a spectacularly extravagant Easter gift to cheer up his young, homesick wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna.
After Alexander III's death, his son Nicholas II, presented a Fabergé egg to both his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna, and his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna.
All 57 of the 69 know Fabergé eggs that survive today were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé between 1885 and 1917.
Following the revolution and the nationalization of the Fabergé workshop in St. Petersburg by the Bolsheviks in 1918, the Fabergé family left Russia.
The imperial family's palaces were ransacked and their treasures were moved to the Kremlin Armoury on order of Vladimir Lenin.
The Fabergé trademark has since been sold several times, and several companies have retailed egg-related merchandise using the Fabergé name.
Currently, ten of the imperial Easter eggs are displayed at Moscow's Kremlin Armory Museum.

The Champagne Pink Gown with fluttery cape-like sleeves and short mesh gloves was featured in the initital Hartford run of Anastasia.
As many fans wanted to see the familiar blue gown from the 1997 animated movie, costume designer Linda Cho later reworked the costume for the subsequent Broadway run in 2017.

I'm not accustomed to happiness, I wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Rather, I crave a bearable melancholy. Not the kind that is soul-crushing, but the kind that slices like a fine paper cut on your wrists. It stays tucked away in a corner of your heart, quiet and patient. Like a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings in solitude.
