Well, this is a day I saw coming. Come on, it was only a matter of time. Could any cheesy 80s movie be MORE deserving of transformation into a Broadway musical than Xanadu??
You won't find much at XanaduOnBroadway.com, but if you dig into "Share Your Xanadu" you will find some treats. A list of YouTube videos related to Xanadu.
Now, here is a remix and re-make of Xanadu, just because it is such a cool jam!
oooOOOooo. I hearts it!

I'm seeing Xanadu On Broadway tomorrow night. There's been zippo advertising. Its all quite mysterious. The film is a camp classic but I couldn't handle more than 10 minutes of it and I like ELO and ONJ. However, this Broadway cast is great! I'm looking forward to it.

So? How was it? Seems like even if it was bad, it would still be fun! (just like the movie)

As one character puts it midway through Xanadu, "This is like children's theater for gay 40 year olds!"It was a real hoot. Fun, silly, a good time, and loads better than that turd Mama Mia! The female lead had Olivia's voice down. Truly nailed it. I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't expecting much of anything and was pleasantly surprised.It's just begun previews and opens the end of June. It'll be interesting to see if and how long XanaduOnBroadway survives with orchestra tickets priced at $111.25.
