Photo Flash: 'Xanadu' Celebrates New Year & 200th Performance

The cast and crew of Broadway's Xanadu celebrated its 200th performance and New Year's Eve with a champagne reception on-stage at the Helen Hayes Theatre.

This month will bring the release of the Xanadu original Broadway cast recording in stores on January 8. Plus, on Thursday, January 10, 2008 the entire cast of the hit Broadway musical Xanadu will appear in the popular "Live at Lincoln" series at Barnes & Noble to celebrate the release of the original cast recording!

Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Jackie Hoffman, and Mary Testa will perform three musical numbers from the production to include "Suddenly," "Evil Woman," and the show's signature song where they will be joined by the full company.

Afterward, two-time Tony nominee Tony Roberts, special guest Douglas Carter Beane (book-writer) and the entire cast will sign copies of the cast recording.

The program begins promptly at 5:30PM in the unique event space on the third floor of Barnes & Noble at the Lincoln Triangle, on Broadway at 66th Street.  

"Taking audiences back to 1980 California, this hilarious new musical follows the beautiful Kira, who travels to earth to inspire a struggling young artist named Sonny. A vision in leg warmers and wind- swept hair, she helps this hunky painter find his voice, discover true love and build the world's first roller disco (not necessarily in that order)," explain press notes.

The original cast CD of Broadway's Xanadu was released December 11, by PS Classics, for purchase at the theater, and online at www.xanaduonbroadway.com and www.psclassics.com.
