As I listened to “Xanadu” Original Broadway Cast Recording CD, familiar hit melodies whirled with songs like “Evil Woman,” “Magic,” “Strange Magic” and “Xanadu.”

In the first place, I am a show tunes enthusiast. I’ve loved Broadway music since Cole Potter.

“Xanadu” CD is 1980’s musical Broadway 2207 - 2008 hit based on the same movie that Olivia Newton-John starred. Pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar’s legendary chart-topping tunes get a musical theater makeover.

The Broadway show plot is quirky: XANADU spies the beautiful Greek muse Kira as she visits Venice Beach, CA in 1980 to suggest an uninspired artist, Sonny, to build the first roller disco. She accidentally falls in love with him, it’s chaos and fun while her jealous sister muses’ dismay, when skate wheels turn and disco balls twirl.
