FOREVER PLAID

A celebration of harmony, innocence and the sincerity of dreams, FOREVER PLAID shares the heavenly story of four guys — Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie — who love to sing and perform. While en route to their first big gig at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar, the members of Forever Plaid were broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. Due to the alignment of space and time, the Plaids are able to return to Earth for one final concert, the show they never got to do in life. In between telling the stories of their lives, the Plaids perform some of the greatest hits from the 1950s before returning back to Heaven.

FOREVER PLAID is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIshows.com

SOUTH PACIFIC

Set against the dramatic background of an idyllic island during WWII, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic, SOUTH PACIFIC intertwines the themes of romance, duty, and prejudice to create a story that is humorous, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking. Based on James A. Michener’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 book, “Tales of the South Pacific”, the musical follows two intercultural love stories. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with Emile, a French plantation owner who has two children from his late Polynesian wife. At the same time, U.S. Lieutenant Cable falls for a beautiful island native named Liat. Both Americans find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings. Several songs: Bali Ha’i, I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, Some Enchanted Evening, Younger Than Springtime and I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy have become popular standards. The original Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto.
