This is a great new marketing video for XANADU made by the producers.

How funny! I love how they so obviously cut up people's sentences. Cheyenne Jackson saying: "People coming from Kansas..." Haha-hysterical!

Love it. This piece comes the closest to "explaining" what is hard to capture in a brief performance or commercial. Much of Xanadu relys on the tone, which certainly is tongue in cheek for much of the show.

Now if they would combine that adorable video with the wonderful 30 second spot that played on TV for about a week https://youtube.com/watch?v=xfQRJgATwlM then maybe people would actually go see the most fun show on Broadway
That Cynthia McFadden looks like such a loser now, in retrospect - lol.

OMG Those triple jump-cuts piecing together sentences are hilarious. Part of me wanted to record the actors laughing (in the final Kenita Miller stretch) as my ring-tone.
The rest of nightline's bit on it- cute little interviews and all, unfortunately the annoying woman is still there.
yay youtube
I have a huge smile on my face, after watching several of the "Xanadu" clips. I can only imagine the feelings I'll have being on stage and watching the show live. 'Ah can't wait!! from RC in Austin, Texas

I assume you'll being seeing Gypsy, which is terrific. But Xanadu is an entity unto itself and one of the most entertaining shows you'll ever see in your lifetime, EVER (and I hail back from 1952). Bless you!!!!
Love the video and the show. With so many shows to see, I very rarely have the opportunity to see a show a second time. But, I made an exception for XANADU and it was well worth another visit.

That video nails everything that is so right, good and fun about the show. Looking forward to a fourth visit...
It's so funny (and I said this in the 'Du Crew thread) I found that episode of Friends on a DVD I have... hilarious! And I have the Will & Grace episode... "30 more minutes of roller skating ballet!"
Classic.

"We'll let you know when it closes.
NOT!"
Yay!
