Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Can a musical be simultaneously indefensible and irresistible? Why, yes it can. Witness 'Xanadu, the outlandishly enjoyable stage spoof of the outrageously bad movie from 1980."

NEWSDAY REVIEW:

"A grand little piece of smart dumb fun."

VARIETY REVIEW:

"90 minutes of souped-up silliness and broad comedy. Kerry Butler is simply out of this world as Kira. Delightfully inspired."

NEW YORKER REVIEW:

"Xanadu (at the Helen Hayes) is so ridiculously brilliant, so lavish and sublime a confection that any set of adjectives you might come up with after a single viewing will more than likely be replaced by another set of ineffectual adjectives once you'e seen the show a second or third time. It's probably the most fun you'll have on Broadway this season, one reason being that everything about it is so resolutely anti-Broadway."

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:

"The simple reason is that only the doltish could fail to improve on something so awful -- and the Xanadu creative team, headed by playwright Douglas Carter Beane and director Christopher Ashley, is clearly not a convention of dolts. Indeed, they have taken the movie's bare essentials and transformed them into a cute 85-minute spoof that works more effectively than all but the strongest believers might ever have hoped."
