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 – the first 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 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, and includes "Magic," "All Over The World," "Suddenly," "I'm Alive," "Evil Woman,” "Have You Never Been Mellow?" and "Xanadu" – to name only a few! – and is based on the cult-classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly.
