Xanadu JR.
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.
Kira is on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time...
the first ROLLER DISCO!
(Remember, 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.
The musical comedy features an original hit score by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, which includes songs like 'Magic', 'All Over The World', 'Suddenly', 'I'm Alive', 'Evil Woman', 'Have You Never Been Mellow' and 'Xanadu.'
Xanadu JR.
features a charmingly witty book by Douglas Carter Beane and great pop music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
The student version of the show is based on the Tony nominated Broadway musical, which was based on the 1980 Universal Pictures film with a screenplay by Richard Danus and Marc Rubel, starring Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John.
