Five the Parody Musical

​In the uproarious off-Broadway parody Five directed by Jen Wineman, Anyae Anasia steals the spotlight as Ivana Trump, delivering a performance that has audiences and critics alike buzzing. Amy Munice of Picture This Post lauds Anasia's portrayal, highlighting her "poofy blond wig and thick accent" that bring Ivana to life with flair. Gregory Fletcher from Stage and Cinema praises Anasia's "powerful" singing, noting her standout moments that add depth to the production. Zachary Stewart of TheaterMania.com commends Anasia's "memorable line readings," delivering them with a flair that leaves a lasting impression. Her dynamic performance, complete with sharp wit and commanding stage presence, makes her a standout in this satirical musical, contributing significantly to the show's acclaim and extended run. The show, which opened at Theater 555 on February 19, 2024, extended its run through April 21 due to popular demand.
