Directed by Dani Davis with choreography by Todd Underwood and musical direction by Scott Sotrr, performances will continue through Aug. 27.

The cast comprises Kate Pazakis, Sean Maddox, Jared Hagan, Donald Loupe Jr. and Troy Barboza with Juliet Brooks, Jake Boyd and Matt MaGrath.

Based on the Universal Pictures film (screenplay by Richard Danus and Marc Rubel), Xanadu features a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.

"It’s 1980 on Venice Beach," according to press notes. "A beautiful Greek muse comes to earth to help a young handsome, muscle-bound, sweet-tempered but not so bright artist, Sonny Malone realize his dream to open a roller disco." This parody of the Olivia Newton-John flop cult movie includes "Suddenly," "Strange Magic," "Evil Woman," "Don't Walk Away" and "I'm Alive."

The production also features scenic design by Ryan McGettigan, lighting design by Susan Nicholson, costume design by Robin McLaughlin and properties by Mary Fritz. Kate Heemsoth will serve as production stage manager. Show times are Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 PM and Thursday-Saturday at 8 PM.
