XANADU follows 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 ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira     falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage     of the situation and chaos abounds.

This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams     despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score     composed by pop-rock legends Jeffery Lynne and John Farrar, and includes,     "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have     You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu", to name a few, and is based on the     Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia     Newton-John and Gene Kelly.

It's hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel     inspired, as one of Broadway's master storytellers, Douglas Carter Beane weaves     a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep you in stitches, while the     original, legendary chart-topping tunes lift you out of your seat. You'll want to     keep the music in your head, and Xanadu in your heart, forever.

Please note that this production features the talents of our select group of Musical     Theatre students in grades 6th -12th grade.
