Parent Guide – Xanadu

Parent Guide – Xanadu

Parent Guide – Xanadu Rating: PG Show Content Details - Please note: the following information may contain plot spoilers. Violence: One character very briefly contemplates suicide. This is done in a comic style. Sexual content: One muse announces herself as “Erato – muse of lyrics and erotica” - which is an accurate description in Greek mythology. Melpomene, in referencing her children, states that she did “lay down with Achelous.” This theme is repeated when Clio states that Zeus “did lay down with Mnemosyne on nine consecutive nights” producing nine daughters. In describing why people fall in love, Melpomene says “Oh there are many reasons why mortals fall in love. For some it is lust. For others, it is companionship... (etc.)” Language: There are a few swear words: hell and damn, a couple of times each. The words “Oh God” are used a couple of times, as well as “my gods!” referring to the Greek gods. Hermes, in response to Kira begging for answers to impossible questions, says to her “Bitch, I don't know your life.” This is said for comic effect, not as an insult. The word is said only once in the show. Substances: Danny, in seeing Sonny in a tank top and short shorts says: “The last time I saw a guy dressed like you he tried to sell me a nickel bag. I still don't know what a nickel bag is...” Other: Most of the men in the show are playing women. Not in an obvious “wig and pantyhose” way, but just that they are sister muses to Clio. The original Broadway production was done this way as well. They wear Greek togas. There is a gentle poke (in fun) at both Scientology and Catholicism. These are not insulting references, more comic stereo-typical references. .
