This Tony-Award-nominated, 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, Jeff Lynne & John Farrar.
Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount 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! But when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.

Why "Xanadu?"- a statement from the Artistic Leadership Committee
​
"Full of fun and recognizable music, this surprising choice has not been produced locally in recent memory. We believe people will welcome this ode to the roller-skating, disco-dancing 80s! And we’re incredibly excited to see what our tech team will do with this show - because at least one of them has been asking to do this show for years! Now add in the creative and fun ideas our team already has for audience engagement - roller skating nights, partnerships with a local Greek temple, a disco dance party- and we’re going to have a fantastic summer!"
