One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, this delicious goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950's on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived from the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform he show that never was. Singing in teh closet of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision the "Plaids" are bond to hook you, with a program of beloved songs and delightful pattter will keep you rolling in the aisles when you're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the '50s.
