Making the second stop of a thirteen-city tour, Broadway’s "Xanadu" has made its way to Sacramento.

The musical production, directed by Christopher Ashley, brings drama, comedy and a bit of 21st century lingo into a must-see production.

"Xanadu" takes place during the 1980s in Venice Beach, Calif. where an artist named Sonny Malone, played by Max Von Essen, struggles to satisfy his artistic hunger. After creating the chalk drawing “The Nine Sisters," Sonny’s creation comes to live with one purpose — to artistically inspire him.

The romantic comedy also features Elizabeth Stanley as Kira or Terpsichore, the muse of dance, who becomes Sonny’s inspiration and love interest.

Even though there is a romantic aspect to the production, it focuses more on the comical side, which audience members really enjoy. Throughout the show, modern lingo used by the cast such as “word,” “true that,” “baby’s daddy” and many others were heard throughout the Community Center Theater.

Audience member Kate Sullivan said she appreciated the incorporation of current lingo.

“I really liked 'Bitch, I don’t know your life!' " she said, while snapping her fingers and smiling. “I don’t think there was anything terribly inappropriate (about the lingo).  I mean I don’t think you’d take a kid to this anyways because they wouldn’t get the jokes.”

But the lingo wasn’t the only thing exciting audience members.

Throughout the production, the cast blew everyone away with their powerful voices and charm.

“I’ve seen the movie and I didn’t like the movie,” said attendee Alexia Cameron. “But I thought in this production the cast was crazy good, and all of their voices were so strong and all of them were very attractive.”

Although the singing was excellent, toward the end of the show there was a malfunction with the microphones that made people like Cameron gasp.

Cameron said she was a bit disappointed with the sound because she was afraid she would miss a good line.

Even through technical difficulties, the show was a success.  The production had more than 1,700 attendees during opening night. Company Manager Susan Guszynski said it was a good turnout, especially since opening night was between two holidays.

She said Sacramento’s audience was especially pleasant throughout the show.

“I was listening to the opening of the show and I thought the audience was very engaged and were smart and were getting it,” Guszynski said.

If you have not already seen the show, don’t fret. The show will run until Jan. 10 at the Community Center Theater. Ticket prices range from $18 to $65.
