Exclusive This Is Xanadu

Translation:

EXCLUSIVE THIS IS "XANADU", the number one musical in the world

Starring Gene Kelly, Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck…
and the music of the ELO.

WE wanted to get ahead of what is sure to be the biggest cinematic-musical event of the next season in our country. We are referring to that film, “XANADU”, which is already a success all over the world, and whose soundtrack is, for example, number one in England.

“XANADU”, which comes subtitled as a musical fantasy, is a beautiful fable that stars none other than the veteran GENE KELLY, the unforgettable actor and dancer of so many Hollywood hits, and the winner of “Grease”, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN, who here plays the muse of Greek mythology and is the daughter of the god Jupiter and, from Olympus, her usual residence, moves to our world to help us, sing to us and enchant us. Also in the cast is Michael Beck, who starred in “The Warriors”, that violent film that told the story of the struggles of New York gangs… And the music is by that glorious ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, Ahíes na!

As we were saying, “XANADU” is being a success, both in cinema and in recordings, everywhere it has been released, and here in Spain both, the premiere of the film and the release of the album that includes the soundtrack, will take place in September.

So here are these photographs, which we publish exclusively, as a preview of that “XANADU”, which is going to repeat the records of “GREASE” and “SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER”.

OH! What is XANADU? “XANADU” is the name of a nightclub where the action of the film takes place and where OLIVIA, muse of Olympus, comes to lend her “divine” powers.
