See It: Xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And you’re here with me
Eternally

Xanadu Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu Xanadu (now we are here)
in Xanadu

Xanadu
your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu.

— Jeff Lynne, performed by Olivia Newton John

Just saw an amazing live production of Xanadu at Meadowbrook Theatre. It was a truly superb performance.
