XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds. It's hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired, as one of Broadway's master storytellers, Douglas Carter Beane, whose work earned him the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical.
weaves a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep you in stitches, while the original, legendary chart-topping tunes lift you out of your seat
The outlandishly fun stage spoof of the outrageous 1980 movie, Xanadu follows the story of a struggling artist and his muse who find love at a roller disco in Los Angeles. This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar The contagiously sing-able hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra) and John Farrar includes radio hits such as "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu" (to name a few). , and is based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. An electrifying parody of endless fun that will keep you in stitches while the legendary chart-topping tunes will lift you out of your seat. You'll want to keep the music in your head - and Xanadu in your heart - forever.
