Thank you Carmen Miranda.

Please tell me this isnt the final poster. The show title is almost lost, and the painting is borderline crude.

Well, I for one am hoping this will succeed, assuming they go for the camp value in high gear. With an ensemble of five, they may be pushing it over the top, but who knows...

This isn't the complete cast though correct? I remember seeing a lot more roles in the workshop than posted so far, such as Jennifer Cody. Maybe the small ensemble is all they need because they'll have the main principles and the principles with less stage time who act as the ensemble in those scenes. Or maybe I'm completely wrong and this is the complete cast list and the show was subjected to rewrites.

"The August 2006 reading of Xanadu featured Jane Krakowski as Kira, the role created on screen by Olivia Newton-John; Ben Vereen as Danny, the role originally played by Gene Kelly; Cheyenne Jackson as Sonny; Mary Testa as Melephone; Annie Golden as Calliope; Asa Somers as Thalia; Leslie Kritzer as Terpsicore; Darius de Haas as Euterpe; and Angela Ai as Erato."
(Playbill 11/20/06)

So the roles of Thalia, Terpsicore, Euterpe, and Erato haven't been casted yet!

"According to Playbill.com, a starry cast including Jane Krakowski, Cheyenne Jackson, Tony Roberts, Mary Testa, Jackie Hoffman, Jen Cody, Darius de Haas, Tyler Maynard, David Tankersley and Marty Thomas will appear in invite-only workshops of Xanadu on January 20-21." (Broadwayworld 1/8/07)

Jane Krakowski, Cheyenne Jackson, and Tyler Maynard are out. Tony Roberts, Mary Testa, Jackie Hoffman, and Marty Thomas have been casted. I don't know who David Tankersley is, but hopefully Jen Cody and Darius de Haas jump on board!
