Xanadu" follows Muse Kira (leader of the muses) on her quest to inspire a young 1980’s aspiring artist (Sonny Malone) in creating his wildest dreams - A ROLLER DISCO! When she falls in love with mortal Sonny Malone, her jealous sisters (Melpomene and Calliope) take advantage of the forbidden love so that Kira will not be granted the biggest gift, from the almighty Zeus, XANADU!
