Discount Tickets Now Available for "Xanadu" Summer Stock Musical

Broadway Musical
"Xanadu"
presented by Summer Stock Productions

directed by Bruce Taws

This hilarious musical is a parody of the Olivia Newton John movie and contains many songs from the early '80s including "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Have You Never Been Mellow", and "Xanadu", to name a few.

Nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Musical, Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. 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 - A ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds

This funny, 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, and is based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly.

It's hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired, as one of Broadway's master storytellers, Douglas Carter Beane, weaves a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep you in stitches, while the original, legendary chart-topping tunes lift you out of your seat. You'll want to keep the music in your head, and XANADU in your heart, forever!
