Kerry Butler
From Xanadu on Broadway.
Xanadu star Kerry Butler talks about her childhood performances of Olivia Newton-John songs and how they’ve informed her Broadway role as Kira, as well as the ins and outs of roller-skating on stage; her deep affection for the musical Blood Brothers and her experience in the Broadway production; her separate appearances in two somewhat blood-thirsty musicals, Bat Boy and Little Shop Of Horrors; why she took the originally underdeveloped role of Penny in the original Hairspray; and which of her roles fans most frequently mention when she meets them at the stage door.
