The Tony Award-nominated musical “Xanadu” continues to captivate audiences with its roller-skating adventure, emphasizing the theme of pursuing dreams despite limitations. The production features a score by pop-rock icons Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
“Xanadu,” inspired by the Universal Pictures cult classic film starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, is described as “hilarity on wheels for adults, children, and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired.”
The storyline follows Kira, a magical Greek muse from Mount Olympus, who arrives in Venice Beach, California in 1980. Her mission is to inspire Sonny, a struggling artist, to create the first roller disco. As Kira falls in love with Sonny—a mortal—her envious sisters exploit the situation, leading to chaos.
