Signature Theatre turns the MAX Theatre into a divine disco ball for its latest production. Based on the camp classic 1980 film, Xanadu was a surprise Broadway hit when it was adapted into a musical. This hilarious, award-winning comedy tells the story of a Greek Muse sent to Earth to inspire a struggling artist. The unexpected side effects of her adventure include discovering true love and building the world's first roller disco. The show features hit songs by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John, including "Magic," "Suddenly," "I Am Alive" and "Xanadu." Learn More

I sort of enjoyed the music as I listened to it but kept hoping for more memorable tunes like those in other Kander and Ebb productions. The singing and dancing of the Spider Woman were startling, but when the show was over, I couldn't figure out the storyline of what a Spider Lady was doing in a prison except for killing prisoners with kisses. I finally concluded that the intended bottom line was that all men could be seduced by other men. I was puzzled by the joyous dancing of Spider and the deceased prisoner after she'd kissed and killed him.Written on Mar 19 2008

This was one of the best performances I have seen in DC.Written on Apr 21 2008
I wish I saw it sooner than the last day so I could have seen it multiple times.
I will definitely watch for these performers in other productions. All were outstanding. What more do you want - fantastic choreography and sets, as well as the brilliance of each of the leads. What an afternoon!

The show was fantastic! I especially enjoyed Karma Camp's imaginative choreography, and Natascia Diaz's command of the stage.Written on Mar 31 2008

More Information About Kiss of the Spider Woman
Description
Kiss of the Spider Woman explores the complex relationship between two men caged together in a Latin American prison. One of them, a gay window dresser, has been imprisoned for allegedly making advances to a young boy. In order to escape the brutality of prison life, he spends his days dreaming of Aurora, a B-movie actress from the 1940s who once played the role of the sinister "Spider Woman." His dreams, however, become more complicated when the warden asks him to spy on his cellmate, a political activist jailed for his involvement in the Argentinian revolution.
