A dazzling Greek muse brings love, laughter, and the world’s first roller disco to life in this vibrant 1980s spectacle. Overflowing with glitter and hilarity, this Tony Award-nominated musical adventure celebrates the pursuit of dreams despite the obstacles others may place in your way. Featuring an unforgettable score by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, Xanadu is inspired by the cult classic Universal Pictures film starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. This whimsical production is a roller-skating joyride that promises fun for all ages, from adults to children and anyone seeking a spark of inspiration.
The story follows Kira, a radiant Greek muse, as she descends from Mount Olympus to 1980s Venice Beach, California. Her mission? To inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to create the ultimate artistic masterpiece: the first-ever roller disco. (After all, it’s the 1980s!) However, when Kira breaks the rules by falling in love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters seize the opportunity to stir up trouble, leading to a whirlwind of chaos and comedy. Bursting with energy and charm, Xanadu is a heartwarming tale of creativity, love, and the magic of believing in the impossible.
