Forever Plaid

One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, Forever Plaid is a deliciously entertaining musical revue filled with classic close harmonies, pitch-perfect melodies, nostalgic pop favourites, and irresistible comedy.

Sparky, Trudge, Jinx, and Frankie are four earnest young singers united by their love of music and their dreams of becoming like their idols — The Four Freshmen, The Hi-Lo's, and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Trudge's family plumbing supply company, they form their own quartet: Forever Plaid.

On the night of their first big break, the Plaids are travelling to their debut performance when they are struck by a school bus carrying young fans on their way to see The Beatles' American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Their lives and promising careers end instantly — but that is precisely where the story of Forever Plaid begins.

Through a magical twist of fate, the four young men are granted one final opportunity to return to the stage and perform the show they never had the chance to give.

Singing in impeccable close harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations, and executing charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision, the Plaids present an unforgettable program of beloved songs, including "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Moments to Remember," "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing," and "Heart and Soul."

Featuring performers with Broadway and Mirvish credentials, this polished professional production brings world-class artistry, delightful storytelling, and the timeless music of the 1950s to audiences in Muskoka and Barrie. It is a joyful theatrical experience that will have audiences laughing, humming along, and cheering for the Plaids to finally enjoy their long-awaited moment in the spotlight.
