Experience the Magic of Xanadu with TICKETFINDER.com™

Xanadu is one of the most loved musicals playing right now. You think you know all about the stories of witches and the princesses of the world of magic falling in love with mortals? Not until you have seen Xanadu, one of the newest musicals to hit Broadway. The plot might sound familiar, but once you have actually seen Xanadu, you will definitely have to think differently.

Xanadu is a musical comedy with a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, based on the 1980 cult classic film of the same name which was, in turn, inspired by the 1947 Rita Hayworth film Down to Earth. The title is a reference to the poem, Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Xanadu is the name of the Chinese province where Khan establishes his pleasure garden in the poem.

Synopsis

Xanadu tells the tale of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira (real name Clio), who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first Roller Disco. But, when Kira, falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.

After a lot of misunderstandings, fights, tears, magic and, of course, music, the lovers are united, blunders are forgiven and the evil are, if not punished, left unsatisfied and whining.
