Xanadu in Manila

XANADU, the Broadway musical comedy that opened in 2007, skates into Manila in a brand new production directed by Bobby Garcia.

XANADU tells the story of a magical and beautiful Greek muse named Clio who disguises herself as Kira and descends from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling chalk mural artist, Sonny Malone, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - a ROLLER DIS…CO. But her jealous sisters concoct a magic spell that turns both Venice Beach and Mount Olympus upside down.

Featured in this hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you are the hit songs of pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, including “Magic”, “All Over The World”, “Suddenly”, “I’m Alive”, “Evil Woman”, “Have You Never Been Mellow” and “Xanadu”. It is based on the Universal Pictures’ cult classic film of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly.
