Xanadu is a musical comedy with a book by Douglas Carter Beane and music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, based on the 1980 film of the same name (which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly). The musical opened on Broadway in 2007 and ran for over 500 performances, earning an Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, a Drama Desk Award for Best Book and Tony nominations for Best Musical and Best Book.

Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, 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.
