CONWAY — Take a trip back to the magic year of 1980 — not to be confused with 1780 — in the mythic town of Venice Beach, Calif. — not to be confused with Venice, Italy — a place where Greek muses can make your dreams come true in “Xanadu,” a musical based on the cult movie.

“Xanadu,” which opened at M&D at the historic Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway on Thursday, July 1, and will be performed Thursday through Saturday for the next three weeks, brings together the music of Jeff Lynn of Electric Light Orchestra and John Farrar.
