Forever Plaid, one of Off-Broadway’s most popular musicals will return for Only One Night, not to the stage, but to the big screen! NCM Fathom, Planet Green and Forever Plaid Productions partner to present a hilarious and irresistible event featuring a LIVE red carpet introduction by the original cast with celebrity guests followed by a pre-taped 20th Anniversary performance of the musical, Forever Plaid, starring members of the original Off-Broadway cast. The exclusive event will conclude with a LIVE performance by “The Plaids” who will perform numbers never before sung in the show, a mix of “swinging standards” and contemporary songs. Be there when two chart topping musical questions collide as “How Much is That Doggy in the Window?” meets “Who Let the Dogs Out?” No, really! And please do practice your own “me-me-me’s” for a bouncing ball sing-a-long where you join in the joy! This sensational musical event will take place on Thursday, July 9th at 8:00pm ET / 7:00pm CT / 6:00pm MT and 8:00pm PT (tape delay).
Check out all of the videos received for the Forever Plaid video contest. One of these groups will be featured on the big screen during the nationwide event on July 9th!
Disovery's Planet Green is proud to support this Fathom event.
EVENT OVERVIEW
Forever Plaid is an affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony ‘guy groups’ that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. This quartet of high-school chums, and their earnest dreams of recording an album, ended in death, when their ’54 Mercury collided with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles' American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The girls were fine. The play begins with the Plaids returning from the afterlife for one final chance at musical glory.
This event will be broadcast live out of Los Angeles to movie theatres nationwide where audiences will be introduced to Larry Raben, Stan Chandler, and David Engel, all members of the original Forever Plaid off-Broadway cast, in addition to Daniel Reichard, one of the original cast members of the original Broadway production of Jersey Boys and Stuart Ross, the creator and director of Forever Plaid. Following the pre-taped performance of the musical, this laugh-out-loud event will continue with over a half hour of LIVE music sung in glorious four-part harmony by the cast and end with a live “bouncing ball” sing-a-long! Whether you’ve never seen Forever Plaid or have seen it 50 or even 100 times – don’t miss your chance to watch this endearing, sweet and nostalgic musical back again, in your local movie theater for this One Night Event!
