The first smash hit of the 2007-2008 season proved to
be one of the biggest surprises in Broadway history: XANADU,
which roller-skated its way into the hearts of critics
and audiences alike. XANADU began previews on Broadway
at the Helen Hayes Theatre on May 23, 2007, officially
opened on June 26, 2007, and is still playing to enthusiastic
crowds today.
A hilariously reinvented send-up of the 1980 Olivia Newton-John
film flop, this irreverent musical adventure, helmed for
Broadway by director Christopher Ashley, spins along to
the addictive original hit film score by pop-rock legends
Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
XANADU follows the beautiful Greek Muse Clio, who time-travels
to Venice Beach, CA in 1980 to induce an uninspired artist,
Sonny, to build the first roller disco. When she falls
in love with him, chaos and fun abound, skate wheels turn
and disco balls twirl.
The updated script by 2007 Tony Award-nominee Douglas
Carter Beane takes the plot and dialogue to knee-slapping
extremes, while the legendary chart-topping tunes (including
"Magic," "Evil Woman," "Suddenly,"
"All Over the World," "Don't Walk Away,"
"Have You Never Been Mellow?" and "Xanadu")
get a musical theatre makeover via a stellar company of
performers.

catchy! A guilt-free pleasure! - Variety

does a bang-up job at entertainment! Enormously ingratiating!

to deliver a good time!" - Associated Press
