FOREVER PLAID

The Off-Broadway Musical Sensation
January 29 - March 27, 2010

FOREVER PLAID is the comic story of four talented buddies in 1964
on their way to their first big gig as a harmony group. Their dream is cut
short, however, when a bus of eager Catholic school girls on their way to
see the Beatles broadsides the guys' car killing them instantly. But the
show goes on when the friends miraculously unite in the afterlife to
perform the gig they never lived to sing. Features classic 50’s and 60’s
songs like “Love is a Many Splendored Thing”, “Chain Gang,” “Catch a
Falling Star” and others.
