Xanadu is based off the 1980 cult classic film starring Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck and Gene Kelly. The story focuses on Greek muse Clio, who descends to Earth to help inspire the struggling artist, Sonny  Malone, to build a roller disco. Disguised as a human named Kira, Clio falls in love with mortal Sonny, and must face the wrath of her jealous sisters.

The staged production of Xanadu includes roller skating, hit songs from the movie and also pokes a bit of fun at the original film.
