* "Journey to the Past", although it is (like a certain other IWantSong[=/=]AwardBaitSong from [[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail a different Don Bluth movie]]) really catchy. As time has gone by, Anastasia's singing voice Liz Callaway, has gotten more credit for how beautifully she sings. The Blog/UnshavedMouse even described her as "[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Jodi Benson good]]." [[https://youtu.be/gqUj4rRiWjQ?si=ZPkFIk7p807o3v4a The official pop cover]] by the legendary {{Music/Aaliyah}} does not disappoint either.

* [[https://youtu.be/pBxhpcGq4Jg "Learn to Do It".]] The song is hilarious most of the time, but at one point, it freezes to show shock when 'Anastasia' gets something right that the other two haven't gone over: "I don't believe we told her that." Funny!

** "The Neva Flows" is a haunting melody with an equally chilling recap by Gleb on his father taking part in the Bolshevik Revolution and killing the Tsar and his family.
** "Still" unravels Gleb's dilemma to accomplish his task given by his superiors while also showing his feelings for Anya in a complicated weaving of discordant chords and straight melodies to highlight his wavering resolve.

* Broadway's Anya and Dmitri, Christy Altomare and Derek Klena, duetting on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y86buJDVbk "At the Beginning"]] at Feinstein's 54 Below. It's really too bad this song wasn't in the stage version, because these two ''nail'' it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGk8raYDNro This]] rendition of "Journey to the Past", sung as a duet by Liz Callaway (the original Anastasia) and Christy Altomare (Broadway's Anastasia). Not only is it incredibly heartwarming to see their delight in each other, but their voices blend ''flawlessly''.

* Rasputin gets a [[EvilIsCool damn good]] VillainSong, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG6JrqFARRY In the Dark of the Night]]", a soaring ensemble piece complete with an OminousPipeOrgan and ''power chords'' (Thank you, Music/JimSteinman!). And backup. Sung by bugs. And Rasputin's singing voice is provided by Creator/JimCummings. You can tell why fans were pissed that it got AdaptedOut of the musical.

* "Stay, I Pray You". What they did with the tune of "In the Dark of the Night" - an incredibly emotional song reflecting on something that the movie didn't, their feelings on leaving their homeland behind forever. To make it even more emotional, Count Ipolitov - who leads the song - is double-cast with Anastasia's father.
** In addition, repurposing Rasputin's theme as antagonist into a song of farewell to the homeland (Russia) has the heartbreaking implication that the antagonist is now the homeland itself (the Soviet Union).
* "We'll Go From There", a rollicking tune set on a train car that [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome you really believe is rocketing through the countryside]] with excellent three-part counterpoint.
