The show tells the tale of the 1950’s musical quartet, Forever Plaid. The guy group consisting of Sparky, Smudge, Jinx, and Frankie takes us along their journey using classic barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch perfect melodies. On the way to their “breakout” gig, they are killed in a bus accident, due to this accident their lives and careers end but Forever Plaid’s story is just beginning.
As quoted from Don Grant Zellmer (Sparky) “People are going to be surprised at the non-stop songs from the 50s and 60s eras, combined with unintentional and goofy comedy.
Before boy bands, there were guy groups and we are bringing the swinging sounds from the 50s and 60s, complete with 4-part harmony. Including such retro hits as ‘Three Coins in the Fountain,’ ‘Shangri-La,’ ‘Moments to Remember,’ and almost two dozen more hits. It’s a great, big show with a small cast of four that never leave the stage. Everyone is having a ball learning the music and recreating the guy group harmonies.”
This production is full of charming harmonies and eye-catching choreography, sure to keep audiences laughing and singing along!
