While the Buffy Sing Along remains on hiatus (our latest stumbling block to getting back in theatres is the SAG negotiations), we’ve decided to stop waiting for our slayer to return from the dead (again), and start working with another mystical, super-powered icon: A MUSE! And so, we’re created a new sing along production for the NYC area…

THE XANADU SING ALONG!
The original 1980 film back on the big screen
With Audience Participation and more!

Before it became a Tony-award nominated Broadway smash, XANADU was one of the most notorious bombs in Hollywood history. But what a glorious failure! Featuring a slew of classic tunes from Olivia Newton John and The Electric Light Orchestra, there isn’t a moment of this campy cinematic mess that isn’t a toe-tapping delight. So, for this special big screen presentation of the “classic” 1980 film, we’re inviting the audience to do more than just watch their jaws hit the floor (typical reaction: “Um, did the main characters really just turn into fish?”) — we are encouraging all the Xana-fans sing and dance along with their favorite songs!!!

At the XANADU SING ALONG we’re not only screening the movie, but providing the lyrics to sing along, as well as a grab bag of props and list of audience interactive moments to coincide with what’s happening on the screen. And yes, we will all get on the stage and dance. Before the film we’ll also be presenting some extra special Xanadu trivia, Olivia Newton John video clips, and other Xana-fun.

Filled with hilarious moments (often unintentional) pouring off the screen, there is nothing about XANADU that is not resplendently insane! 80s icon Olivia Newton John plays Kira, a muse of the Greek god Zeus disguised in leg warmers and roller skates. She is summoned to Earth to inspire lonely album cover artist Sonny Malone (The Warriors star Michael Beck) and retired big-band musician Danny McGuire (Gene Kelley!) to team up and build a giant roller disco named Xanadu. No, really. The film is directed with neon music-video panache by Robert Greenwald, the same guy who now makes incendiary political documentaries about Fox News and Wal-Mart.

Produced by the creators of last year’s smash interactive cinema hit, The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sing Along, this interactive big-screen sing along XANADU screening is a cinematic celebration that is not to be missed!
