Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:20amDoes Kira almost fall at one point during that video? She was skating along the back (behind the on-stage seats) and looked like she really lost her balance.
re: Video about the Xanadu National Tour#7
Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:24amLOL. Looks like maybe she does.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:39amWell at that part in the show, she's supposed to be limping and being clumsy because she only has 1 skate on.

omg lol does any1 even like the show??? it closed in broadway for a reason!!!
re: Video about the Xanadu National Tour#13
Posted: 1/16/09 at 1:27amIt's all orchestra seating and it's a lovely intimate theatre- I think about 550 seats. It should be perfect for that show.
re: Video about the Xanadu National Tour#14
Posted: 1/16/09 at 1:28amAh, I didn't know that. In all my years of theatre going in Chicago I have yet to set foot in there. LOL.

re: Video about the Xanadu National Tour#15
Posted: 1/16/09 at 1:46amI was going to say, it definitely says "orch" on our tickets so I figured it was something like that. Yay for a new show to rush/frequently patronize! haha we'll see if this gets me off the crack that is Jersey Boys rush seats.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:49pmAnyone know where the stage door is?

Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:52pmI dont believe they have an actual stage door. The actors generally just exit the theatre through the lobby, so I would suggest just hanging out there afterward. Updated On: 2/15/14 at 12:52 PM

Wow, it actually does look like she took a tumble there and they just cut away from it.
So does the rounded part of the stage extend over the orchestra pit?

The "tumble" is purposeful, and the theatre has no orchestra pit.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 3:25pmIt closed after running for more than a year, winning awards, and bringing delight to thousands of fans. May the national tour run long, be successful and bring happiness to the patrons and enjoyable work to the crew and cast of this fantastic musical. Rock on Xanadu!

Posted: 1/16/09 at 10:22pmI loved this show and am going to see it next Thursday, but I have to say that Kira looks like a drag queen in this. She's more muscular than Sonny.
