The Old Globe Announces Cast & Crew for Plaid Tidings
The Old Globe has announced its complete cast and crew for its special engagement of Plaid Tidings – A Special Holiday Edition of Forever Plaid. Written, directed and choreographed by Stuart Ross, the musical will run November 27 – December 26, with opening night on December 2nd.
The cast features David Brannen as Sparky, Leo Daignault as Jinx, Jason Heil as Smudge and Michael Winther as Frankie.
The creative team includes Sean Fanning (Scenic Design), Charlotte Devaux (Costume Design), Chris Rynne (Lighting Design), Paul Peterson (Sound Design), Don LeMaster (Music Director), Steven Withers (Associate Music Director) and Liz Stephens (Stage Manager).
Plaid Tidings continues the story of the singing group whose lives were lost in an accident involving a busload of teens en route to see “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Encouraged by a heavenly phone call from Rosemary Clooney, the high-spirited boys of Forever Plaid – Frankie, Sparky, Jinx and Smudge – are transported from the ethereal cosmos to stage a nostalgic holiday extravaganza for world-weary mortals on Earth. Stuffed with such “Plaid-erized” Christmas standards as “Mr. Santa,” “Let It Snow” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” Plaid Tidings is one holiday treat that is truly heaven-sent.
Tickets are available at www.theoldglobe.org or by calling 619-23-GLOBE.
