Forever Plaid Screening July 9!
You still have time to get your tickets to this special one-night-only event. Be there when Forever Plaid, one of Off-Broadway's most popular musicals, has it's debut on 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?” And make sure you 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).
Forever Plaid follows a 1960s quartet of close harmony singers who, on their way to their first real gig, are wiped out by a bus full of Catholic schoolgirls (who are, ironically, on their way to see the Beatles). Forty years later, the group is brought back to earth for one night to perform the show they never got a chance to perform in life.
The film stars three of the show’s four original cast members, Larry Raben as Sparky, David Engel as Smudge, and Stan Chandler as Jinx, along with Daniel Reichard as Frankie, while David Hyde Pierce will provide the narration.
