REVIEW: XANADU is Uproariously Camp-tastic at OCPAC, ends 12/27
by BWW News Desk - Dec 27, 2009


COSTA MESA, CA-It's no secret that the 1980 Olivia Newton-John/Gene Kelly film Xanadu was such a horrendously-received crap-o-rama that it has since transcended above it's own flaws to become a surprise cult classic that people actually adore, in its own very unique way. With that in mind, the Broadway musical-that uses that vapid movie as its source material-puts that very awfulness center-stage... parodies the heck out of it, points out its cheesiness blatantly, and even surprisingly-and lovingly-pays tribute to it in a very respectful way... Well, at least, respectful in the way the best satires can. XANADU, Broadway's multiple Tony® Award-nominated musical that launched its first national tour at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, is one funny, self-aware, hilarious musical comedy that takes absolute pleasure in its own campy delights. The uproariously bright show skates at the Center (the musical's only Southern California tour stop) until December 27.
