Reuters: "'The theater? They'll just take some stinkeroo movie ... throw it on a stage, and call it a show.'
I wish I could take credit for that astute bit of analysis when it comes to 'Xanadu,' the new Broadway musical adaptation of the cult favorite 1980 stinkeroo film, but it comes directly from the show itself. Its author, Tony-nominated playwright Douglas Carter Beane ('The Little Dog Laughed'), clearly wants to head off at the pass the inevitable criticism. No doubt that's why a character also declares at one point: 'This is like children's theater for 40-year-old gay people!'"
