A musical comedy based on the 1980 cult classic film, the show features some of ELO and Olivia Newton-John’s greatest hits. Xanadu follows the journey of a magical Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980. Her quest is to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first roller disco ever! Kira soon falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, and her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation. Chaos, hilarity and disco balls soon ensue. The score includes the 80's pop-rock classics "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu" (to name a few).
Performed by Special Arrangement with MTI.
