Xanadu at The Arts Club & Sandbar Giveaway
byThe Arts Club Theatre Company is lacing up their rollerskates in their latest production of Xanadu. This upbeat disco-dancing musical is based on the 1980 Universal Pictures Film that was adapted from the book by Douglas Carter Beane (To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar; The Little Dog Who Laughed).
Take a magical ride to a world where fantasy, romance, and shiny satin jumpsuits reign! A beautiful Greek muse descends from Mount Olympus in an impenetrable disguise of leg warmers and an Aussie accent to help mortal Sonny realize the greatest artistic achievement of all time: to open a roller disco! Featuring the cult classics “Suddenly” and “Xanadu,” this musical is “Magic” on roller skates!
This “outlandishly zany spoof” stars Marlie Collins (in Olivia Newton-John’s role from the film) Gaelan Beatty as Sonny. Xanadu will run from June 21, 2012 until August 4, 2012 at the Granville Island Stage.
The Arts Club has offered up a prize for one Miss604 reader that includes two tickets to opening night (June 27th) and a $100 gift card for dinner at The Sandbar on Granville Island. The Sandbar has been consistently voted one of the best patios in Vancouver and they host a variety of events, have live music, brunch on Father’s Day, and are currently hosting their own Pacific Salmon Run Contest.
Here’s how you can enter to win this prize pack:
- Leave a comment on this post naming your favourite disco-style tune (1 entry)
- Post the following on Twitter
I will draw one winner at random from all entries next Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 1:00pm.
Update The winner is Jennifer!
