High school pals Sparky, Jinx, Smudge, and Francis -- the “Plaids” -- are a talented “guy group” -- just four nice young men who love singing harmony. On the way to their first big gig, tragedy strikes. The young men linger in limbo until the conjunction of various “astro-technical” phenomena allow them to return to Earth, perform their final concert, and hopefully win a place in Heaven -- and the deluxe plaid dinner jackets of their dreams. Will they overcome asthma, ulcers, nerves, and forgotten lyrics? Will they find the perfect chord? This smash hit musical is an affectionate homage to the close-harmony 'guy groups' that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. Featuring twenty-nine spectacular popular hits such as “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “16 Tons,” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing,” Forever Plaid is a heavenly perfect show!(Rated G - Adult $29/ 17 & under $12)
