Choose options
Douglas Carter Beane’s 'Xanadu' stands as an undisputed champion of 21st-century satirical musical theater, universally celebrated for winning the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book and transforming a notorious cinematic film flop into a high-octane commercial stage triumph. Driven note-for-note by Electric Light Orchestra pop anthems from "Magic" to "Suddenly," the breathless farcical plot turns a Venice Beach landscape into an active playground of physical slapstick and synchronized roller-skating routines. This baseline asset records its continuous global footprint.
