rkoldI don't think even Lux is outrageous enough to be Olivia Newton John! :D So yesterday I met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ee970 and we ate yummy food (cupcakes and gelato!!!) and went to go see a musical. We were trying to decide between Mama Mia, Hairspray and Xanadu. As I've seen Avenue Q now 2x and have tickets to see Wicked in a few weeks. For those who don't know, Xanadu is based on the 1980 movie musical starring Olivia Newton John as a rollerskating Greek Muses in SoCal. And no, I am not making that up. It is full of cheezy songs and rollerskating! Having secretly enjoyed Starlight Express (back when C.B. was in it ~.~ ) I was leaning towards Xanadu.. What I didn't know was Xanadu the musical is a loving parody of the movie and even has some Clash of the Titans jokes! <3 Yeah for bad movies!
My favorite exchange in the musical went something like:
But Clio, how will you keep him from recognizing you as the girl in the picture?
I shall wear rollerskates, legwarmers, and I will talk with an Australian accent. And I will call myself KIRA
And I was struck with the vision of Raito on roller skates trying to disguise the fact he is a demi-god by using the name Kira
I'd seen Kerry Butler in the Les Miz revival I think, but she was amazing as Olivia Newton John/Clio/Kira :D The roller skating was fabulous and now I want to see it again and sit on stage and dance around like a moron in the ending bit!
I need to check DoA but I am avoiding it and working on my new cheezy crack fic instead.
