It will be hard to decide who will have more fun when Xanadu hits the stage in May - the audience or the 50 plus cast members bringing flashy and fabulous to life! The stage musical is a retelling of the cult classic 80s film—which stars Australia’s own Olivia Newton-John—and its main purpose is to spread a little love and joy. Xanadu is vibrant, bubbly and bright bringing ‘theatrical sunshine’ in every moment with a killer, familiar score.
Xanadu is the story of the Greek muse, Kira, who descends from Mount Olympus to inspire a struggling artist in 1980 Venice Beach. To hide her demi-god status, Kira dons the perfect disguise: legwarmers, roller skates and an Australian accent. The script sets its tongue firmly in its cheek, is peppered with comedic one-liners and is guaranteed to put a pep in your step—or, perhaps, the disco in your roller skates!
The show dates are:
Friday 2 May, 7.30pm

Saturday 3 May, 7.30pm
