Sonny Malone

Sonny Malone is the protagonist of the 1980 film Xanadu and its stage musical adaption. He is a talented artist who paints for a living, and whose job is the uncreative task to paint larger versions of album covers for record-store window advertisements. He dreams of fame beyond his job, but decides to give up on it for being broke. Sonny is played by Michael Beck, and presumably, Cliff Richards did his singing voice in the film, while he is played by Cheyenne Adams in the original stage musical.
