Jaystar- Is this a real event or is it your idea and you created it?
It was from the Xanadu email newsletter.
Yeah, too bad I am back in California.

Has Xanadu adopted the name FANadu or is that term only used on the board.
I will be there in spirit!! I cant stop thinking about this musical...how it played, how it made me laugh, how it made me remember...and how it lead me to find my Xanadu.
I wish I could go =( Have fun you guys!
"The audience goes crazy at the show!
They're so into it. I don't know what it is with me. First Elvis and now this! People come and call themselves "Fanadus." I love it. "
--- From Cheyenne's interview on Broadway.com
TapTapTapioca- No this announcement is FOR REAL ... from the website..I guess they adopted the name fANADUs per the e-mail. the one that I posted is the exact e-mail that I got from them.

Dang! I have a thing tomorrow afternoon, but I will do what I can to make it. I hope there's lots of pics tomorrow anyway, for those of us who won't be likely to make it.
Jay, will you be premiering your costume?
Testing1232, the hardest thing in the world is not buying tickets. Part of me wants one day a week to be Xanadu day...
I'm thinking XanaTuesdays!
oh hunny I am THERE!!!
I just don't think I'm going to be wearing my Kira outfit... lol
You GOTTA wear the Kira outfit!!! You know if you wear that outfit, there will be people taking your pictures as well. Just imagine being on all the Broadway sites and maybe even the papers the next day.
Who knows, Olivia might see you and HAVE to get a picture with you...

Jay- Was it you that created that word?
No- its singingbackup ....he coined the word "fANADU" for f(ans of X)ANADU..
This was the original thread as to how the name got started:
https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?thread=939399&id=3111930&boardname=bway
As to how the Production teams pick up the name fANADU- who knows? a most plausible explanation is they read these threads.. There was an article oh HX magazine about Douglas Carter Beane (librettist) who admitted that he is obssesed reading these threads.. I will try to find that article & post it here later -
or Craig might just told the XANADU people ?

I have a lucky pin for her for the opening --- my "Millionaire- Play it" pin from MGM---- (got called into the "hot seat" once)
I just hope I get a chance to give it to her ! (and she doesnt think I am totally nuts...LOL
I will be there, but prolly NOT in 80's garb. My 80's stuff is all faded jeans and members-only jackets and otherwise heavy stuff, and it's supposed to be 90 degrees, so no thanx.
I'm thinking just wear my black Xanadu cap.
