Xanadu is a Tony Award-nominated roller skating musical adventure based on the 1980 Universal Pictures cult classic film that starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. The story follows Kira, a magical Greek muse who descends from Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California to inspire struggling artist Sonny Malone to build the world's first roller disco, only for forbidden love and jealous sisters to complicate her quest. The production features music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar and a book by Douglas Carter Beane, directed by Logan Vaden with choreography by Courtney Chilton. The cast includes Kristen Herink as Clio/Kira, Miles Estes as Sonny Malone, Morgan Kaupert as Melpomene, Brad Goertz as Danny Maguire, and Arianna Bermudez as Calliope, among others.
