Dear Community,
You and your family are cordially invited to our ASFG Drama Spring Musical: Xanadu: a lovely, silly, uplifting musical about art, creativity, love, and the Greek gods on rollerskates. The ASFG Drama Students grades 3-12 are transforming the auditorium into a roller skating rink, and transporting the audience to 1980s Venice Beach, California, for non-stop laughter and antics of the Greek gods.
The story is inspired by the (so-bad-it’s-good) 1980s movie of the same name, but brings a contemporary sensibility to the structure, storytelling, and humor. The Broadway Production of Xanadu premiered in 2007, and was nominated for four Tony Awards. The New Yorker says, "Xanadu 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've seen the show a second or third time."
XANADU
