By Andrew Gans
21 Dec 2007

The new musicals Xanadu and Young Frankenstein will each offer special performances in 2008 to benefit the Actors Fund of America.

The Jan. 27, 2008, performance of Xanadu (at 7 PM) and the Feb. 10 performance of Young Frankenstein (at 8 PM) will benefit the non-profit organization. Tickets are available by calling (212) 221-7300, ext. 133. For more information visit www.actorsfund.org.

Xanadu plays the Helen Hayes Theatre, located at 240 West 44th Street. Onstage seating for the special performance is sold out, although other tickets are available. Young Frankenstein plays the Hilton Theatre at 213 W. 42nd Street.
