Xanadu is a high-energy musical inspired by the cult-classic 1980s film, blending pop hits from Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John with Greek mythology. The show follows a muse who descends from Mount Olympus to inspire an artist and accidentally falls in love, featuring roller-skating, disco flair, and tongue-in-cheek humor. The production is directed and choreographed by Quae Simpson, with Stacey Antoine as musical director. The book was written by Douglas Carter Beane, with music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
