Coding all fixed - sorry about that. There are two different sets of code to make sure it's cross-browser compatible and the 2nd coding had a typo... my bad..

I saw the show last Sunday. Cheyenne was amazing! Good fun all around and not a bad seat in the house.

I'm so happy this is up because it'll sustain me at least until the cast CD is recorded. And Cheyenne Jackson better be in it. That A natural in his power ballad Don't Walk Away (the note is on the word "is" when he sings the lyric "When day is done" for the last time) sounds so good technically and aesthetically in Cheyenne's voice. I'm going to have to see the show again...

Thankyou so much!! This video has made my day!! Cheyenne is awesome and should totally be on the recording!! I feel sorry for James, but I think Cheyenne deserves to be on it!! Thanks again!!

Ahh Cheyenne's voice makes me melt every time. Love him!

I don't know if there was quite enough Cheyenne in that video.

Wow that's an amazing preview! And I got to see some of "Suspended in Time"!

I thought initially this was going to be such c**p.

I was so wrong.

I'm coming across the continent just to see (I still can't believe these words are coming out of my mouth) Xanadu.

I've already apologized for trashing the show and now I have to put my money up there.

Oh, and I wanna see Young Frankenstein, too.

Loving the camp fest that the last number seems to be.
Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman both look hilarious. Kerry Butler sounds adorable and Cheyenne Jackson has leading man quality oozing out of him.
Those on-stage seats look terrible though.
Will definitely catch this show next time I'm in the city.

On stage is awesome. You must try it at least once especially if you've seen it from the front already. It's a completely different experience.

Mary and Jackie are goddesses on stage and they work so well together. I wonder what Annie would be like as the understudy. Someone emailed me on youtube this weekend that she will be filling in sometime this week for Jackie. Not sure if it's true though. People tell me random 'Du news all the time as if I know all. Guess I'm on Olympus...haha I feel special. :o)
But I would love to see Annie's take on it. And I SO want to see Andre's version of Melpomene. I think it would be HYSTERICAL.

I saw the show Saturday night for the second time--both onstage--and just being on different parts of the stage literally gives you a different take on the show. Last time, I was in the seats behind Mary and Jackie and this time I was in the left corner right audience/stage left) and I saw much much more of the show than I did before.

It's a 90-minute smile..guess that's the best way I can put it..since if I wasn't laughing out loud the whole time, I was grinning.

i.love.u.and.i.hate.u.

This is an AWESOME video! i LOVE it! but it only makes me want to watch the show more and obviously am stuck to London... West End sucks! *cries* I want Xanadu!!!
I reali wanna see 'Have You Ever Felt Mellow?'

I can't stop watching this video!

One of the biggest surprises in many a season (I hadn't laughed so hard and enjoyed myself so much in a theater in a long time before Xanadu)...I'll be posting a review soon hopefully.

Jackie Hoffman and Mary Testa are incomparable.
