Based on the film of the same name starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, is a Tony Award-nominated, hilarious, roller skating musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you.
The hit score is composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount 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! But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.
Xanadu is a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep audiences in stitches while the original legendary, chart-topping tunes including “Magic," “Evil Woman," “Suddenly," “Have you Ever Been Mello?” and, of course, the title track, "Xanadu" lift them out of their seats.
This production is Rated PG.
Xanadu is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (mtishows.com)
