Xanadu on The Early Show

[Reganniccole]

i wanna c this so bad!

[Niteowl128]

poor Jackie got short changed :-(

[WWEQAF]

KYLE DEAN!!!!

[szhaya]

wow! i love this.

[BRD453]

I think it's a shame to see Olivia's work ridiculed and mocked on Broadway. Think how it must make her feel. They wouldn't do this with Grease I hope.

[AnnaBella5789102]

@BRD453

they did. They stage version of Grease is a terrible show

[Paacreek08]

@BRD453 Olivia was completely on board for the production, she attended the premiere and even went on stage and expressed how good it was and how much she loved it.

[BRD453]

@Paacreek08 Well, whatever. I haven't even heard the whole story. If you say she was on board, she was on board. Xanadu. Nobody takes that film seriously, but me. I couldn't help it, she was so beautiful and talented. Not just in that film, but far beyond that. And, what a voice!

[pjcp97]

aww jackie didn't introduce herself

[riptiki]

This is why the musical comedy genre is forever doomed. It's neither entertaining, beautiful, nor interesting.

[soylakekagalindo]

this girl was Penny on Hairspray right?

[Kesinji]

Yep.

[crazyblindseer]

ouch. jackie got dissed and dismissed XD

[Kesinji]

That was awkward...

[bwaygurl105]

Kerry Butler and Cheyenne Jackson are the bomb.

It's such a pity that Xandau closed. They had an amazingly talented cast.

[KerryButlerRockz]

i love Xanadu and kerry butler but i haven't seen the show so can some one tell me why shes on the skates in the first place

[erinl2]

The story is about a roller disco. That's why she's on skates.

[nichic96]

Most people don't like it because they've seen the musical & haven't seen it on stage.

They changed it so its puposely cheesy and the whole show is just a big laugh.

nothing serious unlike the movie.

[perseus1624]

I'm a fan of the movie but what i've seen of the broadway show make me sick!

[dunespeak]

@perseus1624 I think I agree a little... but I haven't seen anything but the movie. The movie was awesome... but I hear it was horrible according to critics... >.> But as I am 21 and was therefore born AFTER it was made I do not know that for certain. All I know is that ONJ sounded a lot better in that than grease. A nice clear voice and awesome look. Plus it has a Bluth animation in there.

[KerryButlerRockz]

You know when they do that wierd high five thing but don't actually touch and then he sort of bends down well she can't do it i dont think cus shes on skates and will fall on her tummy and probably hurt her nose! :(

[chicagogirl924]

I love this show, but see the touring cast if you can! They're awesome!

[ONJdbest4ever]

These kids are exaggerating too much and they're just ruining the songs. LIVVY sang Xanadu with feeling and uniqueness. I don't understand why people like noisy and messy performances with all the screaming. YUK

[fontenayperi]

that's broadway. you can't compare a movie soundtrack and music that is meant to be performed on stage

[KerryButlerRockz]

HEY kerry Butler did the best job out of any one who has ever played Kyra and she aint a kid she is something like 36 or 37 she just looks so pretty for her age!

[chibikay82]

I dont really like this girl singing as Kyra.. because shes OVER exagerating her voice to sound like Olivia. Her ' Maaaagic' comes out as " MEEEEEGIC".

[krisyee8]

That was the point..she was parodying the movie and Olivia Newton John. One of the parts of show was to make fun of how bad the movie was. It is suppossed to be funny.

[bflo710]

i couldn't understand anything she said

[bigbuttslover]

i'm in love with cheyenne! he is the finest man on earth!!!

[wickedfan22]

what did Jackie do wrong? I didn't notice.

[dramaqueen7888303]

Cheyenne = AMAZINGNESS

[MostestMeri]

Agreed; a BEAUTIFUL specimen of a man with talent to match

[Bisubmiss]

she sounds like crap.

[moreau17]

She actually has a really nice voice... she was exaggerating her voice to make it sound like Olivia Newton-John, because she played the muse in the movie... she's not mocking Olivia as much as she is making fun of the flop movie version...

[SamuelXavier427]

I love that Cheyenne says "We heard you were here" to the host of the show...

[deadhead7654]

and she just walks off..

[deadhead7654]

omg poor jackie! a-holes

[curtainswoods]

yay, poor Jackie, but if you notice she was not paying attention at all, she should have stepped in as soon as Mary got there...but she just stood there...then slowly walks over..hello..you can tell they were in a rush

[emmanuelh6198]

They were in their spots for another song that did not play

[luisam93]

hahaha

loved the sign that said

XANA

DO ME

[Crushiinn24]

why do curtis shoes look like a chunk of yellow plastic??? lol

[curtainswoods]

that is not curtis

[hairspraluva]

POOR JACKIE HOFFMAN!

[yippedoodah]

I like how they aren't in costuem, but still wearing funkadelic clothes full of color. Who's the guy with the blue and grey striped vest?

[emmanuelh6198]

Kyle Dean Massey, he played Thalia and was the Sonny U/S

[GreatWestern90]

I can't take my eyes off his bright yellow shoes.

[eava123]

im confused, how did they mix those two songs into one scene?

[aasjb4ever]

jw why are curtis' shoes like giant chunks of plastic?

[curtainswoods]

yeah well Jackie did not get in fast enough...she was lagging behind...I would have jumped in there when I saw Mary go in. But at the same time it looked like that they were supposed to cut to commercial and then they came back...way too quick!

[emmanuelh6198]

Apparently they were going to sing Xanadu but the outro track started playing instead.

[Whoaguys87]

oooh Jackies gonna bitch slap someone! lol

Cheyenne has an absolutely amazing voice

[luciremagazine]

I agree about Cheyenne Jackson—if Michael Beck could have sung like that the film might not have been such a mega-turkey in 1980.

[sososamantha176]

ugh i wish i could see this goofy show and the original cast! curse being on the west coast! lol

[themonican2005]

This is so great. I really want to see Xanadu. I hope they come to San Francisco!!!

I love the movie and every song from it. Cheyenne Jackson's voice is fcking amazing.

[Pradakirb16]

me too i live in the bay area and i really want it to come to sf too!

[luciremagazine]

I think the two of you on the west coast should go and fly east! (Spare a thought for those of us living outside the US who need to fly 17 hours to NYC!)

[WickedRENThead20]

I believe the tour is beginning in SF.

[curtainswoods]

the tour kicks off in San Diego then SF

[aasjb4ever]

y arent they in costume?

[abakusek]

oh no...jackie looks pissed!

[freakbergamo]

loved this performance! Cheyenne & Kerry are amazing!

[dudewheresmydignity]

oh, poor jacquie.

[runnerfastgoes]

Omg at 3:42 his voice is amazing! It's amazing anyway but just..more so!

[brandonbearcub]

awesome show! highly recommended!

[serf3469]

this sounds great
