‘Xanadu’ is hilarity on wheels for anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired.Based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same name, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, this Tony Award-nominated, hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and
John Farrar of ELO.
We follow the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. 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 ever 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 an electrifying tale about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you. With endless fun that will have you in stitches, and a host of legendary chart-topping tunes including, ‘Evil Woman’, ’All Over The World’,
‘I’m Alive’ and of course the titular song ‘Xanadu’ - this is a show not to be missed!
