Xanadu-Where Dreams Come True

Dream Music
This 1980 outing starring the fabulous Olivia Newton John and an insipid Michael Beck is about dreams coming true from the ethereal.

The Youth of Olivia
This movie  which is a blend of Greek lore, big band and pop music, is full of dances, roller skating and memorable songs such as  Magic, Suddenly and of course, Xanadu the film theme song.

Xanadu refers to the nightclub named after the summer palace of Kublai Khai.

Providing Eye Candy
To me, it is a so-so fare to bring the old and new together.

Tap Dancer of yesteryear
Representing the romantic past of hat-wearing,  tap dancing and big band music aficionado  is Gene Kelly
