This billboard is in my neighborhood. And apparrently due it's the tag line "it's like taking ecstacy" and the location of the billboard (it's facing Nettelhorst School), people have complained to the Alderman about it. So tonight driving home I noticed several newsvans in the area and the billboard is no more.

Yes It Can!!!!!
Remember how Avenue Q beat out Wicked for the Best Musical at the 2004 Tonys? It was a complete shock to everyone when they won that year. What an upset, like David beats Goliath. People have stated that it was because of the Avenue Q "Vote Your Heart" campaign like when the major movie studios would campaign for the Oscars. This year the Tony race has started and the producers of Xanadu came out with a very unique and irreverent way to campaign, much like the musical itself.
They found Cubby Bernstein, Tony Campaign Manager, responsible for turning Broadway actors and shows into Tony winners. And since today is the 1 year anniversary of Xanadu, Cubby will be speaking at the show's celebration according to this article. He has been generating a lot of buzz for the show from his webcast. I'm posting the episodes because they have to be seen. They are BRILLIANT!
And so.....Yes It Can! Xanadu for Best Musical!

Oh and check out the video they made for their day off:
Even Douglas Carter Bean, the book writer of Xanadu who recently won the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Best Book of a Musical thanked him during his speech! Check out the video here.

It's Xanadu Baby!!!!!
Check out the new Xanadu Commercial from Broadway.com. As always
Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman are hilarious!
I want to see the show again!
Meanwhile, this maybe unrelated but here's a really good article from the NY Times about......as I said in my first ever post in this blog......the sport of Stage-dooring......it has truly become a sport and dangerous with those people who are not really fans. Very disturbing actually.

Attention Fanadus!
Now that we have new converts with Mike and Tom, who saw the show last Saturday December 22--and soon I hope we'd have Ate too. I just wanted to show you this sneak peek into the New Xanadu Commercial which will come up in 2008. Check it out from Broadway.com.

Open Your Eyes and See
I just wanted to point out Paul Wontorek's blog in Broadway.com about the new photo ad for the musical Xanadu. The new ad and TV commercial will be out this new year. Check out his blog for there are lots of pics of the shoot. Isn't Kerry Butler's hair very Olivia Newton-John-esque?

Fanadus!
A Broadway musical version of a cheesy 1980 movie about a painter and a Greek muse who rollerskate their way to love in L.A.? What would the theatre gods say? But because "Xanadu" is a spoof, it works brilliantly. Think tube socks, leg warmers, over-the-top choreography, breathy Australian accent, disco balls and hilarious performances all around: you get 90 minutes of pure, silly fun. Anybody who's as beautiful, funny and as great a singer as Kerry Butler is deserves to be a demigoddess. Ms. Butler(who reminded me of Sarah Michelle Gellar from where I sat), plays Clio/Kira, who sets out to inspire Sonny, a struggling artist. Cheyenne Jackson was absent so we saw Curtis Holbrook (he's in the Broadway in Bryant Park footage). Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman as Melpomene and Caliope respectively, chewed up the scenery as expected. The only weak spot I found was the flashback to real estate bigwig Danny Maguire's (played by Tony Roberts) failed romance. So to writers Douglas Carter Beane, Jeff Lynne, John Farrar and director Christopher Ashley, thanks for "A place where nobody dared to go, The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu."
