This deliciously goofy musical tells the tale of The Plaids, a 1950s male singing group who were killed on their way to their first big gig. Miraculously, they come back to earth for a chance to fulfill their dreams of fame and fortune - albeit, posthumously. This musical review features some great songs of the 1950s: "Catch a Falling Star," "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," "Magic Moments," among many, many others. Guest director, Claire Yarrington, from the California Theatre Arts in Walnut Creek, is also the play's vocal coach and choreographer. She has chosen four outstanding young men to play the roles: Gavin Donnellan (Smudge), Leo Roehrich (Frankie), David West (Sparky), and Branden Williams (Jinx). Design team is: Daniel L. Lawrence (set), Jesse Talbert (lights), Beth Lanzi (costumes), and Gabriel Groom (sound). The music is played by well-known pianist John Raczka. Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations, the Plaids are a guaranteed smash with a series of well-loved songs and right-on patter that keep audiences laughing when they aren't humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the '50s. Join us for a great evening of musical theatre. Call (707) 786-5483 for tickets and reservations.
