Jaystarr,

No review yet from New York magazine, but they did post one of their "Party Lines" for Xanadu's opening night, with photos of ONJ, Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Douglas Carter Beane, and Christopher Ashley accompanied by fun quotes.

Ashley even gave a nod to "fANADUs," a word coined by BWW member "singingbackup" last month!
