It was nice to re-visit Xanadu after a year.

The cast (sister muses) was superb as ever. So comfy in roles and delivering.

Tony Roberts has eased into his Danny Maguire role and he is a blast to watch.

Patti Murin (filling in for Keri Butler) last SAT did an excellent job.

Mary Testa rocked it OUT!! great new lines

fun to see Whoopee Goldberg in the flesh.

the show remains a true gem. thanks

Just saw Xanadu for my 24th birthday on Sunday( my birthday is in Sept.) and loved it. It was more than I expected I will go again. Cheyenne Jackson was soo good

I have loved Xanadu for about 27 years. Just saw the Broadway show and thought it was AMAZING. So much fun! Does anyone know where I can get a Xanadu skating jacket like Sonny and Kira wear at the end of the show? Thanks!

This is a great story....My sister and I grew up knowing that Olivia Newton John was our father's"girlfriend". Of course, my father was happily married to our mother but, in turn,my sister and I became obsessed with the moving, Xanadu when we were little girls. We knew every word to the movie and could sing along with many of the songs. Because it was the 80's and technology wasn't that great, my father actually audio taped the movie (with the boom box held up to the tv). He did this so my sister and I could play with our barbies and pretend that they were the characters in the movie...great memories for us. Unfortunately my father passed away this past May 3rd tragically to a massive heart attack at age 57. Around the time after his death is when my family and I found out that Xanadu was on broadway. My sister and I are trying to get to New York with our mother to see your show. We know that if and when we do, it will definitely be an emotional day for us but one that we are looking so forward to. Thank you for being a part of something that is so important to us. Hopefully we will see you soon!

The best show on Broadway...saw it without Cheyenne, but that's ok! Dying to see it come to Toronto! Come on Dancap or Mirvish! What are you waiting for?

I would just like to say happy birthday to Cheyenne. He turns 33 today! Can't wait until he's back in that show so I can come see him again.

Happy 1 year Xanadu!!

I finally saw Xanadu on the 5th. Such an amazing show! I definitely have to back and see it again, and when it tours!! After the show I met most of the cast and got some pictures! Everybody was so nice!!

Thank you all so much for a great show! Here's to an other year!!

Kerry!! Kerry and her beautiful family go to my church in NYC. You just can't imagine what a lovely person she is!!

I saw Xanadu for the 4th time yesterday for my birthday. It was amazing as always and this was my first time sitting on stage which made it even better! I know most of the cast already so being up there with them was great. I can't wait to come back again.

Oh and by the way, Cheyenne Jackson is the sweetest guy alive.

I agree with Brad! Kate Loprest should come back to Chicago! I LOVED her in Wicked and want her back here. She is the perfect Kira! You want to sell out shows, cast Kate as Kira. She won't let you down! LIFE LONG FAN! I LOVE LOPREST!

Just heard that Xanadu is coming to Chicago and I can't wait!!! Not sure if casting has happened yet, but if not, they should TOTALLY cast KATE LOPREST as Kira. Not only is she a local girl but her performance as Glinda in Wicked 2 summers ago in Chicago was BRILLIANT!!

She would absolutely be awesome in the role of Kira... Who's with me on this?!!

I saw the show last night and everyone was fabulous. Kudos to Kerry and Andre!

Kerry, even though you'd been up since 6:30 you still managed to give a spectacular performance!

I'll be rooting for you tomorrow night!

Wishing Kerry the best on Sunday....break a leg at the TONYS!!! You sure deserve it!!!

My 8th time and Cheyenne is still the nicest guy on the Great White Way!!! Thanks, Cheyenne!!!

Just wanted to wish the cast and crew of "Xanadu" best of luck and break legs at the Tonys next week! Although I have not yet seen the show, I fully intend to soon. I spent the morning viewing news/show clips and the show looks SO hysterical and awesome! Makes me miss the 80's badly. (YES, I said 'miss') I can't want to see the show.. break legs next Sunday! You have my vote. BTW, Kerry B.. you are completely FLAWLESS! Love you!

Sincerely,
Marc (a huge Fanadu!!)

omg. i'm a 14 yr old girl; saw xanadu for the first time ever on april 12, 2007. knew nothing about it; heard the movie sucked so i expected it not to be very good. came out loving it, partly because I GOT A KISS FROM CHEYENNE!! everyone in this show is awesome; music is awesome; etc.!!!!!!!!

Hey Du's,

Anyone able to help me out. The hoodie top Sonny wears when visiting the auditorium for the first time (with his light) is that available to purchase commerical (in a store)?

Thanks,
Jimmy D

I'm going to be in NYC in June, and got a Stage ticket. I can't wait to see the show!

Is there anything special I should know/bring/wear for the stage seating? (I saw an earlier post mentioning a group in togas, but I'm not sure I could carry that look off... )

Hello fanadus! I'm coming to NYC (all the way from Europe) in August or October and after reading you fabulous comments and viewing your pics I really want to see XANADU! I would really appreciate it if you could clear few things up for me: will the show with its original cast still be playing in August/October ; how early do you have to come to get a ticket ; were those amazing photos with the cast taken before or after the show!
Thanks in advance!

I am so excited to see Xanadu this June! Being a Floridian (born and bred), this will be my first Broadway show ever! How long did most of you have to wait at the stage door to get pictures?

I've seen Xanadu twice so far...once in previews and once with on-stage seating, which was INCREDIBLE. I'm going again this Wednesday with my niece and nephews.

The show is absolutely fun and absolutely wonderful. 90 mniutes of bliss.

And the entire cast is always gracious to sign autographs at the stage door and they are the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Jackie Hoffman, whom I've been a huge fan of for years, graciously posed for this pic with me.

I finally got to take a picture with Mary Testa! She is so awesome! I think I may have frightened her a little. I didn't mean to. I was excited to see her upclose and personal. The show was amazing. This was my second time seeing it and this time I was on stage. Sooooo much fun!

I saw the Saturday, April 12 matinee show with a group of 30 kids from my school's choir, and we were blown away! I got the cast recording the day it came out, and hearing it live by the original cast was phenomenonal. Cheyenne was....what can i say...beyond amazing, as well as Kerry. The show was so much fun. I mean, what musical do they sell glow sticks at, and encourage you to sway them in the air? And meeting the cast at the stage door made it that more better!

I saw the show last Saturday and it was fantastic!!! Kerry did a great job of breathing / talking like Olivia. I laughed out loud so many times; people were staring at me. Oh well...it was funny.
Cheyenne is stunning; oh my. Jackie and Mary were hysterical and the rest of the cast was great. Great casting job!!!

I'm DU...ing it again on my Birthday! Sitting on stage for the first time! Can't Wait! Bringing a few friends with me who haven't seen the show yet! Can't wait!!!

My mom and I come to NYC every year in March and we always see at least one show, this year Xanadu was the only thing we saw and it was definitely a wise choice. We sat right up by the stage and it was the best show I have been to. It was very entertaining!!!!! I recommend everyone se this one!

Having been raised outside NYC, I have been fortunate enough to have attended Broadway shows for over 30 years. Seeing Xanadu and meeting Cheyenne Jackson was one of my theatrical highlights! Ever seen a grown man squeal like a schoolgirl? Well, you would have if you had been there when this photo was taken after a performance in November 2007! Along with being incredibly handsome, Cheyenne was one of nicest guys around! I have seen Xanadu three times and plan to attend again...this time I want stage seating.

RUN do not walk to see this hilarious, witty treasure!

Mike from Chicago

Saw this with son on his 17th birthday. also with husband who is very picky. we all LOVED IT. wanted to post 'cuz haven't seen anything recently. was wonderful

One of my favorite moments is when Thetis on Mt. Olympus screams, "Assassins, Assassins!"

This was the FAMOUS line uttered by Maggie Smith in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie". The connection is that Maggie Smith (yes, from "Harry Potter" fame) played Thetis in "Clash of the Titans".

[flash][/flash]
The 3rd seeing Xanadu on Broadway was a charm! Got to meet most of the cast for my birthday--thanks for signing the cast CD!

Looking forward to doing the "du" for the 3rd time on Saturday PM. My 2nd time on stage--1st time was night #1 of the previews on 5/23/07.

Keep doing the DU!

I know the cast is voting for the best t-shirt contest. But, I just had to make a comment. I absolutely loved the clever design of "I went to Mount Olympus...". I so would have that shirt on! I liked the rest too but this one just jumped at me! Love it!

Awesome as always!!! It was nice to finally see Cheyenne play Sonny. What a really nice guy

Promo piece from the La Jolla Playhouse 2008-9 season schedule.

Just back from a few days holiday in NYC & just wanted to say congratulations to all involved in Xanadu.
Words can't explain just what a fantastic time I had experiencing this show.
Sitting amongst the Gods on stage was something I'll never forget.
Please please please bring this outstanding show to London !!!!!

Sorry guys maybe u can help me, I was wondering if I wanted to give a present like a teddy bear or flowers to one of the actors, ok fine if I wanted to give a gift to Kerry Butler as my way of saying thank you for such a terrific job she and the rest of the cast are doing. Do I give it to her after the show where they leave....do they even like that sort of thing?

I have seen the show twice and plan on seeing it this weekend kerry Butler was signing autographs in the rain last friday she signed my playbill i couldnt believe it what a great fun show i am thinking maybe getting her to sign my cd hmmmmmmm, but i cant wait to see it again

Doesn't Andre have the biggest smile?

I found Xanadu to be more widespread in NYC than I imagined :)

I was so happy that my friend Norn Cutson did an illustration of my favorite show.. I have always been a fan of his broadway illustrations. His works on Broadway shows are just plain brilliant. He saw Xanadu and fell inlove with the show, unfortunately when he saw it.. Andre Ward was out...

His other works can be found at his site- [www.nornisland.com]

i have seen alot of the big broadway hits, and let me tell you that Xanadu is defffff. one of my favorites!! it was incredible!

Hello fellow Fanadus!

I will be in New York City just for Xanadu next week and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to inform me where the stage door at the Helen Hayes Theater is at? And is it best to meet the cast before or after the performance? Thank you so much in advance! I cannot wait, 6 days to go!!!!!!!!!!

Went to the Xanadu Cast Recording release event at the Barnes and Noble on 66th and Broadway on the 10th of January. It was really great!

Wore Binaural mics and recorded it for the podcast freinds and I put together which if you are interested in listening to you can find at:

Loved Xanadu on Broadway. Thanks to Cheyenne for taking a pic with us after the show. And to Annie Golden (the fabulous), for joining in the pic and having a drink with us afterwards. I hope to make it to NYC again to see the show again. LOVED IT!!
