Mix the outrageous fun of disco balls, silk shorts, leg warmers and roller-skating with a high-energy musical score and you get the 2008 smash hit musical XANADU! Nominated for four Tony Awards and winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Musical, XANADU is hilarity on wheels that inspires all of us to follow our wildest dreams.

 

Rolling along to the cultishly popular movie's original hit score by John Farrar and ELO’s Jeff Lynne, XANADU follows the journey of a magical Greek muse, Kira, who descends from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California to help a struggling artist named Sonny achieve his greatest artistic creation of all time: the first ever ROLLER DISCO!  But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, chaos abounds as her jealous sisters from the heavens get in their way.
