Xanadu...place of idealic beauty

Do you remember back in 1980 Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly were in a movie titled: Xanadu? I guess it was not a very good movie, but we loved the name...so when we bought our first Papa Murphy's (Papa Aldo's back then!) franchise and needed to think of a company name, we decided on Xanadu Restaurant Management, Inc. Wow, that is a long business name, but it is DBA: Papa Murphy's.

The movie may not have a been a big hit, but  I LOVE Olivia Newton-John's songs. Of course, I LOVE her voice and how pretty she is and how thin she is...anyway, we have many of her cd's.

So a couple of nights ago on the news, they showed a clip of a Musical in town called Xanadu...and Scott got 6 "stage" tickets for all of us to go to it! It was absolutely fantastic!! And we got to sit right on the stage with the actors dancing, roller skating, singing all around us! It was so fun, our cheeks were sore from always smiling or laughing! It is a musical comedy! Oh, how I wanted to sing out....have you never been mellow...have you never triiiiied...., but I thought perhaps the people around me would not appreciate my voice! So I really held myself back, buuuuuttttt...I did NOT hold myself back with swaying and moving to the music! And the crew did get to interact a bit with some of us sitting on the stage, one of the "muses" sat next to Scott and offered him some popcorn! I think there is a little utube clip you could check out if you are interested. Anyway, it was way cool and I loved it! I am hooked and thinking we need to go see the Musical Legally Blonde!! The movie starred Reece Witherspoon..kind of a silly but good feeling kind of movie, I think the musical will be great!
