Xanadu in Central Park with Slides
Hey there, this is B. Swibel from Xanadu on Broadway! This was a cool, fun day.We were out in Central Park auditioning skaters to do guerilla marketing and promotions for Xanadu during the first summer. We were looking for rollerbladers since most people don't rollerskate on the street that much anymore.
We put the word out with some social networks and a bunch of people showed and danced and spun around the fountain and it was a fun day!

Xanadu: Creative Evolution of the Poster
Selections from the artistic process for the creation of the first poster for XANADU on Broadway. We wanted to create something that paid homage to the original iconic Xanadu poster, but moved away from the film to show the humor and high satire of the broadway production. We wanted it to harken a modern fantasy.
-B. Swibel
Producer on Xanadu
Hear Producer Brian Swibel Talk About The evolution of the Broadway Poster design for Xanadu:
MP3 File
We wanted to create something that was reminiscent of graffiti or street art, which came out of the main character in the broadway production, Sonny, is a street artist. For this we sought out two of the best CD artists in LA.
Dealing with inspiration from the original movie poster was a challenge. The original had become iconic and had a blow up characterization of Olivia Newton John looking directly at the camera. We wanted to respect the original, but we also needed a whole new look for a whole new show.
We took a photo of our star, Kerry, and then turned it over to our brilliant poster creators who took her image and then created an Art Deco-like world behind it in keeping with the fun and excitement of the show. The final result really showed the great joy and inspiration which is what the show is about.

Gypsy: Driving around getting ready to get back on the road
Sam Kiernan phoning Show Buzz fans while driving riving around, getting ready to get back on the road with Gypsy to Modesto CA.MP3 File
Hey, this is Sam, Tulsa in the National Tour of Gypsy. I’m calling in to say a quick hello. It is Saturday night here in Modesto, California and we just finished a 2-show day and last night was our first show back from break, which actually went really well until the middle of the first act when the main curtain stopped working so we had to re-adjust to lot of our blocking around the main curtain not coming and out. So that was pretty difficult.
But then once intermission happened, you know, we finally go it down and then we had people come in and fix and I think, it just came off some of the rails or something to that degree. But everything was fine after that. It was a great show. Audiences here in Modesto have been fantastic. And yeah, they seem to really be enjoying the show, which is great.
And today, we had a 2-show day and I actually have been hurting quite a bit because my shins have been killing me all day long and I think it’s really haven’t gotten to those shoes in a long time and they’re kind of hard to dance in and we do a lot of you know jumping over our legs and probably that after a while and I was running last night and this morning and I think I may have over done a little bit. So I need to take my own advice and you know, keep myself in check a little bit.
I’m not sure, I think we have one (indistinguishable) tomorrow and then we have a night off in Modesto and then on Monday, we drive 400 something miles to Las Vegas and I’m going to be seeing a friend, within the Mamma Mia cast out in Las Vegas so that will be fun.
Alright, that’s about it. Well, have fun guys and talk to you soon. Great, bye!

wow, traveling must take a real toll on you. How are you able to stay healthy and well enough to per form while traveling so much. Many people can not handle traveling as it is, and you travel for long hours and then perform!!
