Based on the Universal Pictures film, screenplay by Richard Danus and Marc Rubel, Xanadu features a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. It's 1980 on Venice Beach. A beautiful Greek muse comes to earth to help a young handsome, muscle-bound, sweet-tempered but not so bright artist, Sonny Malone realize his dream to open a roller disco. This raucous, funny parody of the Olivia Newton-John flop cult movie includes the classic 80's hits "Suddenly," "Strange Magic," "Evil Woman," "Don't Walk Away" and "I'm Alive," and takes lethal but hilarious aim at 1980's pop culture. Lace up your roller skates, put on some leg warmers, frosted pink lipstick, cut off jeans and muscle shirts. We're roller-skating on Venice beach!

The cast will feature familiar Cape Rep performers Kate Pazakis, Sean Maddox, Jared Hagan, Donald Loupe Jr. and Troy Barboza. Joining them will be Juliet Brooks, Jake Boyd, and Matt MaGrath. The design team includes scenic design by Ryan McGettigan, lighting design by Susan Nicholson, costume design by Robin McLaughlin, properties by Mary Fritz. Kate Heemsoth will serve as Production Stage Manager.
