a box office failure, making only $23 million against a reported $20 million budget (to be profitable, movies must gross at least twice their budgets after all costs are taken into account). The soundtrack album (UK #2, US #4), however, was a major hit. It was certified Double Platinum in the US and Gold in the UK, and also spent one week atop the Cashbox and Record World Pop Albums charts. The soundtrack contained five Top 20 singles: "Magic"Olivia Newton-John (#1 Pop (4 weeks), #1 AC (5 weeks), certified gold) "Xanadu"Olivia Newton-John/Electric Light Orchestra (#8 Pop (1 week), #2 AC (1 week), #1 UK (2 weeks)) "All Over the World"Electric Light Orchestra (#13 Pop (1 week), #45 AC (1 week)) "I'm Alive"Electric Light Orchestra (#16 Pop (1 week), #48 AC (1 week), certified gold) "Suddenly"Olivia Newton-John/Cliff Richard (#20 Pop (1 week), #4 AC (1 week)) Awards and nominations Home media Xanadu was re-released on DVD on June 24, 2008. The "Magical Music Edition" features a "Going Back to Xanadu" featurette, the film's trailer and a photo gallery. A bonus music CD with the soundtrack album was included. The CD was the film's standard soundtrack album, i.e. with no extras such as omitted tracks. The film was officially released on Blu-ray on March 8, 2016. In addition, it was released in Digital HD for download and streaming. Stage musical A $5 million Broadway musical adaptation of the same name began previews on May 23, 2007, and opened (with Newton-John and songwriter John Farrar in attendance) on July 10, 2007 starring Kerry Butler as Kira, Cheyenne Jackson as Sonny, and Tony Roberts as Danny. In the musical, Kira is the Muse Clio, not Terpsichore. Jackie Hoffman and Mary Testa co-starred (in a plot twist new to the Broadway version) as "evil" Muse sisters. The show, which humorously parodied the plot of the film, was a surprise hit, receiving praise for its satirical approach, and was nominated for several Tony Awards. The original cast recording was released December 2007. The Broadway production closed on September 28, 2008 after 49 previews and 512 performances. A successful national tour followed.
