In case you didn’t know, I’m gay. Not just a little bit gay, but drag-queen-planning-pride-parades gay. Yet, I do not hold a rainbow-colored, unicorn-scented candle to the latest production at the Mac-Haydn – Xanadu. By the show’s own admission, it is “children’s theater for 40-year-old gay people.” Did you see the 1980 movie, Xanadu starring…
