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

This show was absolutely phenomenal. It was such a breath of fresh air on a Sunday afternoon. The actors are so passionate and inspiring, and they know just the buttons to push too. Not only does it raise some serious questions, it also assures some of your deepest beliefs of personal strength and value through their words. I highly recommend this to all.Written on Nov 12 2007
