XANADU

Book by Douglas Carter Beane. 

Music & Lyrics by Jeff Lynne & John Farrar. 

Directed by Mira Winick & Corey Wright.

Produced by Jeff Burke. 

XANADU was presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

Lighting + Sound  
Xanadu’s lighting and sound systems interacted with both the digital and physical worlds.  The lighting desk controlled stage lighting and virtual lights to create compelling integrated effects.  The sound system spatialized live and prerecorded sounds from Unreal Engine using tracking data, which was mixed together with the show’s live band and vocal performances.
