| When most of us
think of the 1950s, we think of rock ‘n’ roll, greasers, hot rods, Elvis,
Annette, Fabian, D.A. haircuts and teen-age rebellion. But there
was a flip side to this era – the side of harmony, innocence, and the sincerity
of dreams. It is the side that’s been lost in the shuffle of progress.
It was a time when most parents and kids listened and danced to the same
music; when families partook of the ritual of gathering in front of the
TV to watch their favorite variety shows, like Ed Sullivan Show or the
Perry Como Show. It was a time when every family worked hard to fulfill
the American dream.
See the smash musical that’s been praised across the nation as:
“Letter perfect! Sweet, funny and thoroughly amusing” (New York Times); “ ...beep-beep, do-whop, doodlie doodlie wonderful” (Boston Globe); “Sheer musical bliss” (Los Angeles Times). “There is so much to enjoy in Forever Plaid, its 90 minutes seem to fly by in a moment” (Arline Greer, The Gainesville Sun). "Forever Plaid should delight any theatergoer who is a fan of musicals" (Jessica Arnold, The Independent Florida Alligator)

“Entirely
enchanting, utterly entertaining, awesome” (New York Post);
Forever
Plaid begins when four young, eager male singers are killed in a car crash
on the way to their first big concert. Miraculously though, the boys are
revived (as angels, of course) for the chance to fulfill their dream and
relive the concert they never saw. Singing along with the piano and bass,
the
“Plaids” perform some of the 1950s biggest hits including, Chain Gang,
Heart And Soul, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, Magic Moments and many
other classic tunes.
