The Creative Minds Behind XANADU …Plus, XANADU on Broadway with Kerry Butler

#xanadu #olivianewtonjohn #kerrybutler Welcome back, Lookers! This week's Bite-Sized episode of Look Behind The Look is all about the cult classic, Xanadu. You loved Martin Samuel's interview so much that we decided to dive deeper into the film and share some delightful tidbits and behind-the-scenes stories. I also talk to the star of 2007's "Xanadu on Broadway" Kerry Butler, about her unforgettable time as Kira, meeting Olivia Newton-John on opening night, losing the original Sonny-James Carpinello-to an injury during previews, almost getting fired for some roller skating challenges… And did you know that it was another actress entirely who was originally cast to play Kira on Broadway? …any guesses?
