Douglas Carter Beane writing libretto based on 1980 disco musical.
The 1980 disco musical Xanadu is skating to the Great White Way. Broadway.com reports that producers are planning a stage musical of the show to open on Broadway in spring 2007. Gay playwright Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed, As Bees in Honey Drown) is putting together the libretto, and the musical will use the John Farrar-Jeff Lynne songs from the movie. Director Christopher Ashley hopes to have an out-of-town tryout up and running this fall. (The Advocate)
