It's hilarity on wheels for anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired, as one of Broadway's master storytellers - with his formidable gift for parody - weaves a moving, electrifying tale of endless fun that will keep you in stitches, while the legendary chart-topping tunes from the original movie soundtrack lift you out of your seat. A spoof on the movie, XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when she falls into forbidden love with the mortal, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.

This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, and includes, "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu", to name a few.

16 Performances!
(Additional Saturday Matinee performances July 7th & 14th.)

Age Rating: Suitable for ages 4 and older.

Behind the Curtain! At TMP presentation: 7 pm, July 1, 2012

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors returns to TMP this summer in this vibrant and delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.

When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
