ABOUT THE SHOW
A beautiful Greek muse named Kira descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California to inspire struggling artist Sonny Malone with his greatest artistic creation of all time - the first ROLLER DISCO. (Hey, it's 1980!) Welcome back to the awesome '80s where disco balls, roller skates, spandex, and leg warmers were wicked way cool.

Beck Center for the Arts rolls out its 2012/2013 Professional Theater season with the first locally produced premiere of XANADU, the award-winning Broadway hit musical based on the cult classic film of the same title which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. XANADU skates on to the Mackey Main Stage September 14 through October 14, 2012. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are now on sale.

Tickets are $28 for adults, $25 for seniors (65 and older), $17 for students (with valid ID), and $10 for children (12 and under). An additional $3 service fee per ticket is applied at the time of purchase. Preview Night on Thursday, September 13, is $10 with general admission seating. Group discounts are available for parties of 13 or more. Purchase a season subscription or ask about our Flex Passes.
