Xanadu 1980 Sheri
and I enjoyed Xanadu when we were younger. It actually came out a
couple years before we were married. Olivia Newton John stars as Kira, a
muse. Gene Kelly as Danny McGuire, is a former love interest of the
muse, and the current love interest, Sonny Malone is played by Michael
Beck. The story explains a muse is not allowed to have a permanent
relationship, but they are to help people’s dreams come through. The
dream in this case is for the two men, who are partners, to get a club
going which they call Xanadu. When the muse has to leave as the dream
is fulfilled, Sonny is depressed and miserable, as Danny was 30 years
ago. He goes after her. He runs through a mural, into the realm of the
muses. Because of this great love, she is granted a day to come back
and see the opening day of the club. She still has to leave in the end,
but they do get a day. This show has good music, and a story line
that works. I don’t know what it is with all the roller skating. Maybe
it was a thing for the time, roller skates, not roller blades. There
is a twist at the end.
