They call it XANADU

A place where nobody dared to go. The love that we came to know. They call it Xanadu... Oh hi there...

A few hours ago, Mira, Shiela, Kayelle and I watched an amazing show entitled Xanadu. Yes it has the same title as that of the 80's movie. But this is a parody.

And yes, it is already a repeat and  it has already been shown earlier this year (last September 3 to 19, 2010). With that being said you can already infer that it is a good show. It wouldn't be a repeat for nothing right?!

It has a power cast! Rachel Alejandro played as Kira/ Clio, Noel Trinidad as Danny Maguire/ Zeus and Felix Rivera as Sonny Malone. The other theater performers who played as Melpomenne, Calliope and the other Greek Muses were fiery in their performances. The singing was flawless, you'd think it is not done live/ recorded. That is how good they were. Plus imagine they also perform with roller skates on. How amazing is that? I especially enjoyed the part where they sung Suddenly . That telephone booth scene - lovely! Kira is just so charming! And Sonny, he is the man! And the super short denim shorts? Coolness! Who says that only Ed Westwick can wear mekmeks, haha. The Evil Woman scene was equally entertaining. (Btw, the songs I posted here are from the Broadway show not the Manila/ Atlantis Production). Personally, I think that the cast of Xanadu Manila  has better voices. Mr. Bobby Garcia has done a great job in directing. The crowd was really entertained.

Finger lights were given before the show to be used by the end of the play. We were told to return it after but actually, I had this feeling that I wanted to keep it as souvenir. Uy ha, I returned it. I am  a strict follower of rules. Defensive much?! Hahaha

the ticket

  

Xanadu was held and will still be held at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium of RCBC Plaza in Makati. The show runs from November 19 to December 3, 2010.

One word to describe the show - theaterrific!
