Xanadu

Xanadu at Helen Hayes Theater

Why see Xanadu?

It’s a rollerskating musical comedy that could save your life! (Keep reading…)

Question: What do you get when you take Broadway’s leading satirist Douglas Carter Beane, Pop-musical masterminds Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, and Broadway’s most exciting new Tony-Award winning creative team led by Director Christopher Ashley…
Answer: A life-altering new musical comedy and you're invited -

Xanadu delivers upon the legacy of the American musical comedy in perfect pitch, as audiences travel back to 1980 California with Kira, a young muse from Mount Olympus, whose quest to inspire a struggling artist to achieve his dream of building the world’s first roller disco is complicated by the prospect of forbidden love with a mortal. A romantic reimagining of the 1980 Olivia Newton John Universal movie-musical that became a cult classic, this magically hilarious, musical love story about the adventures we take to create heaven on earth will blow your mind. Relive great memories. Create new ones. Lace up your skates… and come to a place where Broadway never dared to go.

Xanadu’s legendary score includes the hits 'Xanadu,' 'All Over the World,' 'Have You Never Been Mellow?', 'Magic' (You Have to Believe) and 'I'm Alive.'

Loooved it

This show is not for everyone, you had to be born in USSR to understand it. You had to live there to feel that nostalgy from the scenes in the show that we grew up on. We felt a different mood and excitement all 90 mins. It was like being kids again. ... Read more

Hahahahah!

The previous reviewer was made fun of, and I do not doubt that she needed it. Yay! A smart, funny, touching show not for morons. I attended bald and so very tired from kick-ass chemo. I love the clown that hugged me! I love the show! ... Read more
