WPPAC Conservatory Theatre Announces Cast for XANADU 11/5-6

The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) Conservatory Theatre will present XANADU on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 pm.

XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, 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! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.

This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, and includes, "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu", to name a few, and is based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly.

It's hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired, as one of Broadway's master storytellers, Douglas Carter Beane, weaves a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep you in stitches, while the original, legendary chart-topping tunes lift you out of your seat. You'll want to keep the music in your head, and XANADU in your heart, forever.
Directed and Choreographed by Linda Duci with Musical Direction by Kurt Kelley. XANADU features Ashley Wool, Rich Lugo, Christopher Siley, Jessica Ford, Lindsay Wund, Sarah Cammaratta, Rebecca Zdanoff, Jada Crump, Kate Vaccaro, Allison Jasne, Jason Michel, Daniel Velasquez, Joseph Doino, Anthony Cassetta and Jesse Pellegrino.
All performances are at the White Plains theatre, located on the third level of City Center off Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains.
