Release History:
1980 - Xanadu
This paean to 70s pop culture begins with frustrated artist Sonny Malone tearing up his latest drawing and tossing it to the wind. The wind carries the scraps of paper up to a mural of the nine Greek Muses. Magic ensues and the Muses come to life and head out to inspire mortals and their creativity. Muse Kira, played the effervescent Olivia Newton-John, heads straight to Sonny. She meets him on the Venice Beach boardwalk, kisses him, and then is gone. Sonny goes in search of this lovely girl and ends up meeting Danny McGuire, played by the legendary Gene Kelly, a clarinetist who Kira helped forty years earlier.
When Sonny and Kira meet again, she encourages him and Danny to open a cutting edge roller disco called Xanadu. During the project, Kira and Sonny develop feelings for each other, even though all Kira can tell him about herself is that she and her sisters live "on the second floor."
When Kira has to return to that second floor, back to her angry dad Zeus and no roller disco, Sonny goes to find her there, and asks that she be allowed to come back to Earth for one more night – the opening of the disco.
And opening night is quite an event. Kira dances and sings in a dancing and skating show that’s followed by a battle between a retro big band and the rock band The Tubes. After the initial cacophony, the sounds meld together into one beautiful piece of music. And that’s the theme of the movie – tolerance for things that are different than we’re used to, and the incredible things that can come from this diversity.
The soundtrack was full of hits, including the Newton-John songs “Magic” and “Suddenly.” ELO performed the title track. This magical film was a big hit, and the songs were all over the radio. Now, kids who loved the movie can relive the excitement at the Broadway show based on the original film.
