Xanadu at Riverview Performing Arts Center

A Greek muse inspires love, laughter and the world's first roller disco in this 1980s musical glitter explosion based on the cult classic movie.

Directed by Gary Rucker, Xanadu is a Tony Award-nominated, hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends, Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. Based on the Universal Pictures cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, Xanadu is hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired. Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Clio, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Clio falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.
