Yes Virginia, there was a Xanadu

Xanadu opened last Tuesday on Broadway. "Xanadu?" You ask.

"Xanadu? The craptastic musical that put Olivia Newton-John, Steve Gutenberg AND Gene Kelly in roller skates. Xanadu? A movie so bad that the Pan Pacific Auditorium (where the roller disco finale was filmed) was burned to the ground by an "un-explained" fire right after filming (who said God has no sense of humor).

Yes, that Xanadu. I cannot in good conscience review it as I haven't seen it. But I do have a picture of the lovely Olivia Newton-John at the premiere. And she is still the sweetest slice of Aussie country ever. I LOVE HER.
