A place, where nobody dared to go! Until NOW! The Music Box Theatre teams up with Dick O’Day and Hell in a Handbag Productions , the company that the the Chicago Reader dubbed, ‘The gold standard of camp in Chicago, to present a seasonal series focusing on the best (and worst) in camp movies – Camp Midnight. A Chicago first – Sing-Along Xanadu is the first film on the bill. For one magical night only, the classic musical roller disco film will be experienced the only way a classic musical roller disco film should be presented – in a theater filled with leg-warmers, drag queens and screaming Xanadu fans of all shapes and sizes belting out the film’s well known songs (”Magic,” “I’m Alive,” “Xanadu,” etc.). Sing-Along Xanadu promises a tacky, hilarious extravaganza filled with roller skating, neon, spandex, and lots and lots of glitter – all with the lyrics emblazoned on the screen so shrill muses can sing loud enough for Zeus himself to hear.

Xanadu-ettes will also get to play games, interact with real life Muses that somehow got left on the cutting room floor, and vie for heavenly swag courtesy of Xanadu on Broadway – including a pair of free tickets to an upcoming performance. Tickets are $12 per person and may be ordered in advance at TICKETWEB

Sing-a-long Xanadu is being hosted by the camptacular emcee Dick O’Day (Emmy award winning “Wild Chicago” correspondent) who is the rumored 3rd cousin, once removed, of Zeus, with entertainment coordinated by playwright and Artistic Director of Hell in a Handbag Productions, David Cerda who the Chicago Tribune has dubbed the “Charles Ludlam of the Midwest.” Handbaggers Ed Jones, Merrie Greenfield and Chad McLaughlin will be on hand as well as Chicago’s own roller derby queens, The Windy City Rollers, and other special surprise guests!

Win Xanadu on Broadway swag and tickets!
