Let me add my agreement that Xanadu is an amazingly fun show. I originally saw it two days after the previews began and am planning on seeing it again VERY soon. The entire cast is top-notch, the film's score translates wonderfully to the stage, the added songs are a rousing good time (especially Have You Never Been Mellow), and Beane's take on the story is nothing short of hysterical.
Xanadu obviously doesn't pretend to be the next great American musical. This will definitely be a "cult" show, and for my money, that's quite all right.
I host a podcast, and a few weeks back we reviewed Xanadu. In fact, we've talked it up so much several of our listeners have gone to see the show and come back raving about it as well. Word of mouth is definitely gonna sell this show.
