Totally Awesome Dudes!!! This Commercial is unique to itself. Captures the style of the show without just being a bunch of "clips" from the show. Funny stuff! Do you love it, or do you love it?

Cheyenne in his tank and shorts on a tv screen, what could be better besides seeing him live? Mary Testa has got the best line in the commercial, can't wait to see it on network tv.

Wow - I just noticed that the whole ensemble has a twin (clone) dancing in the same number with themselves - lol. They really did an awsome job on this commercial.

I saw the chalk drawing and felt bad for Kerry/Kira...then she emerged youthful and lovely and all was well!

That was bright. And funny.

That was delightfully camptastic. Hopefully, people who see it will get that the show is not a straightfoward adaptation of the movie, and that they should expect something completely different at the Helen Hayes.

I'm sure someone will cap it better later. I just love that it includes the streamers, the glowsticks, the rollerskates, the muse, 50s and 80s, and disco costumes, the concept of 'cast-doubling', the Santa Monica pier (sort of), the mural coming to life, their interpretation of the actual set, the bad movie the great reviews, a classic Jackie line reading, and all (save Annie) the swings and understudies at the time.

Extra credit for Cheyenne's hysterical/sexy line readings (and keeping his thighs center stage) and Tony Roberts jammin' in his finale sunglasses.

Just saw it -- great job!!!! I spoke to Xanadu staff yesterday and one of the guys who was involved in the new artwork advised will be used for the souvenir program, as well as for the already-known commerical purposes. Great memento of the show!!!
