Members Matt Posted May 6, 2007 Members Share Posted May 6, 2007 I just saw this and thought it was interesting (especially considering I'm a HUGE fan of the original movie). Kerry Butler (Claudia, OLTL) stars as Kira in the big-budget Broadway musical version of the 1980 film "Xanadu" which begins previews on May 23, and opens June 26. Olivia Newton-John played Kira in the original film. The musical (with a budget of $5 million) runs at the Helen Hayes Theater and also stars Tony Roberts as Danny McGuire (originally played in the film by Gene Kelly). Roberts has his own soap background, starring on "The Edge of Night" from 1964-1967 as Lee Pollock, brother of Nancy Pollock Karr. Roberts is also the son of legendary announcer Ken Roberts, longtime announcer for "The Secret Storm" and "Love of Life". http://www.xanaduonbroadway.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
