Not much more than a backdrop and Olivia Newton John singing "Xanadu."
And I honestly couldn't be more excited.

Posted: 3/16/07 at 12:36pmThanks for the post Foanatic. Just hearing the song gets me excited! It almost makes me want to grab my Xanadu DVD and start watching! I can't wait for tickets to go on sale. I will definitely be there to see the show.

I love how most theatre websites (except Playbill) don't have XANADU listed as an upcoming show...as if they still don't believe it's happening.

They're playing this at the Helen Hayes Theatre?
Isn't that a small(ish) venue?

Posted: 3/16/07 at 2:33pmYes.. but apparently (I haven't seen, just heard) that the set for this show will take full advantage of that space - including height

Posted: 3/16/07 at 2:34pmI am so there this summer. This show will be a hoot. I don't care if the critics love it or not. Critics hated the film Xanadu and I adore that movie and the soundtrack. The cast is going to be great. I'm sending this production lots of positive energy. I cannot wait. It's a perfect summer show.

I cannot wait for another insanely cool David Gallo set.

Posted: 3/16/07 at 3:07pmI hope they keep the animated sequence in the stage show.

Posted: 3/16/07 at 3:09pmI like the Ads for it. So colorful and yet so simple....ahhhhh.

Posted: 3/16/07 at 3:25pmI haven't heard much about the musical and never saw the movie. Is the music for the show original or is it taken from the film?
#13re: XANADU Broadway Website
Posted: 3/16/07 at 4:18pmI've never seen the movie, but this music very much excites me!

I registered and have every intention of seeing it this summer (if it is indeed running).
I wonder if they will do the percussion roller-chant and nightclub medley.
Everyone...stomp your skates, clap your hands, cross your arms over head and yell, "XANADU!"

The music for the show is taken from the film. The film itself was not big at the box office but the soundtrack was a top seller. Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton John were hot back then.

"I wonder if they will do the percussion roller-chant and nightclub medley."
Ooooh, Mister Matt, I'd totally forgotten about that sequence and I love it! I love how it progressively goes from them shouting "Xanadu" to Olivia Newton-John singing the title song. I definitely hope that part is included!

Does anyone know what role Jen Cody has? And if it is a role? I love seeing her in the ensemble of any show, and I'm glad that the girl is constantly working, but I want to see her in a featured role at some point. She was the cutest Poopsie in THE PJ GAME.
(sigh)
I adore her probably more than Gino.

wow whatta tag line:
"a place where broadway never dared to go"
they should have added:
"...until now"
i'm not sure about this one. the music is catchy. but the story is minimal at best. i seriously think it's gonna tank.

Posted: 3/17/07 at 9:55amthe movie story may be minimal - but this isn't the movie... the book to this, as I understand it, is quite different

You beat me to it Dark Angel, "A place where broadway never dared to go".
What does that mean?
#22re: XANADU Broadway Website
Posted: 3/17/07 at 10:11am
it's a play on lyrics from the song "xanadu"
A place - where nobody dared to go.. they call it xanadu

Craig, is it wrong that I just pictured you singing that at the top of your lungs?
...while spinning?
...on roller skates?
