Xanadu Sing Along

July 07, 2008

onjsing.jpgFor all you camp junkies out there, your fix is available in the form of an interactive screening of the horribly wonderful 1980 film Xanadu. The people who brought you The Buffy The Vampire Sing Along have moved on to even bigger atrocities...or awesomeness, depending on your point of view. Apparently there will be props and extra clips along with the singing and the dancing.

Here's the details, but check here for advanced tickets and more info:

THE XANADU SING ALONG!
The original 1980 film back on the big screen
With Audience Participation and more!
Friday & Saturday, July 18 & 19 @ midnight
at the IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue, New York City

And here's their short synopsis, in case you've forgotten the plot or (gasp!) have never seen it:

"Filled with hilarious moments (often unintentional) pouring off the screen, there is nothing about XANADU that is not resplendently insane! 80s icon Olivia Newton John plays Kira, a muse of the Greek god Zeus disguised in leg warmers and roller skates. She is summoned to Earth to inspire lonely album cover artist Sonny Malone (The Warriors star Michael Beck) and retired big-band musician Danny McGuire (Gene Kelley!) to team up and build a giant roller disco named Xanadu. No, really. The film is directed with neon music-video panache by Robert Greenwald, the same guy who now makes incendiary political documentaries about Fox News and Wal-Mart."
