XANADU
Oct 12, 2017 - Jan 07, 2018
Greer Cabaret Theater
RELIVE THE ‘80s WITH “A RETRO FEEL-GOOD NIGHT OF NOSTALGIA!”
From the golden age of romantic comedies, legwarmers and Pac-Man…XANADU is a classic tale of boy meets girl - except that girl is actually Greek muse “Kira” sent from the heavens to Venice Beach, California to help struggling artist, Sonny, achieve his greatest dream – to open the first ROLLER DISCO! When Kira falls into forbidden love with this mortal, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos [and hilarity] abound. This hysterical ‘80s musical adventure “rolls” along to a legendary hit score featuring “Magic,” “All Over The World,” “Suddenly,” “I’m Alive,” "Evil Woman," "Have You Never Been Mellow" and “Xanadu,” to name a few.
