Wisteria Theater Company is presenting radically reimagined production of XANADU, directed and designed by Brayden Hade. Watch photos of the production.
Set against immersive projections and a crumbling disco paradise, the production follows Clio (Lexi Collins), an ancient muse disguised as a roller-skating Aussie, who inspires—and entangles—Sonny Malone (Connor Bullock), a sun-soaked SoCal artist teetering between vision and delusion. Olivia Newton-John’s iconic hits remain intact, but in this version, they pulse with new meaning.
The cast features Hadiyyah Noelle, Lisa Dyson, and Kelby Thwaits, alongside a chorus of roller-disco gods.
