“Relentlessly, hysterically funny” – NY Times

Based on the cult film of the same name, this riotous new musical follows the efforts of a magical Greek muse named Kira who descends to Earth to help a struggling artist achieve his dream of opening a roller disco. Featuring an ingenious book by Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed) and a score full of chart-topping tunes (Magic, Suddenly, Evil Woman), Xanadu is hilarity on wheels.

For discount tickets, call Jim Torres or Scott Sinclair at 617-482-3279 and mention the Cambridge Men's Group.

If you would like to join us for dinner before the show, RSVP to BillBarnert@comcast.net.

Movie Night at the Kendall Cinema

Once again, we'll be joining the Gay Men's Art & Architecture Meetup group for movies at the Kendall Cinema in Cambridge. We'll enjoy a selection from several different movies and share our critiques at the Friendly Toast in Kendall Square.

How it works: The GMA&A Planning Team selects several movies with similar start & finish times so you can choose which one interests you and join up with the other guys who want to see that movie. We meet up afterwards for post-show discussion/reviews and refreshments.


MOVIE SELECTIONS WILL BE ANNOUNCED WHEN AVAILABLE FROM VENUE

Out & About Nights at Local Theaters


Several local theaters have special nights for GLBT audiences. These nights usually come with a post-show party, and the theatres give groups like ours a discount, so it's a great night to go see the show.

You can get the Cambridge Men's Group discount whether we organize a group outing or not, and we encourage you to do so.

Usually, we also try to meet for dinner before the show.

Cambridge Men's Group discount:

or visit CentralSquareTheater.org,
and use discount code OUT*.
