Initial Stages presents: Xanadu JR

For one day and one day only, the crew at Initial Stages are performing cult-classic Xanadu JR at Riverlinks WestSide, Mooroopna. With only a week to block, choreograph and rehearse the show, it would be rude not to go and support the local youth. Tickets for the 2pm and 7.30pm show are available on the Riverlinks WestSide website: bit.ly/XanaduJR

Cost: $25

Location: Riverlinks WestSide, Mooroopna

’**80s gem:** Choreographer Maddie King and director Digby Bunnett are excited for Saturday’s *Xanadu* show.
