Take a trip back to the 1950s as we follow four young singers as they take the stage for their final gig. When high school pals Sparky, Jinx, Smudge, and Francis – the “Plaids” – are killed in a car accident on the way to their first big gig, the young men linger in limbo as “astro-technical” phenomena allows them to return to Earth, perform their final concert, and hopefully win a place in Heaven – and the deluxe plaid dinner jackets of their dreams. This smash hit musical is a nostalgic homage to the music of the '50s and includes hits such as Three Coins in a Fountain, Heart and Soul, Catch a Falling Star, and Love is A Many Splendored Thing.
On Saturday, March 2nd, I had the pleasure of seeing another phenomenal performance put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT, FOREVER PLAID, a comedic jukebox musical written by Stuart Ross. Director Melanie Del Sole, with help from musical director Nick Ciasullo and choreographer Stephen Koehler bring out the best in this amazing cast featuring Henry Tobelman, Stephen Koehler, Jeffrey Rizzo and Brandon Gregoire, accompanied by David Marottolo on piano. The show reflects the music of the male 1950s harmony groups, placing it into a highly entertaining storyline! The actors have incredible stage chemistry with each other, and amazing vocal harmony. Their dance maneuvers are performed with sharp synchronicity. Most importantly, it is clear that they are having an excellent time performing their roles, radiating positive energy throughout the audience.
The Castle Craig Players have revealed the cast and creative team for their production of FOREVER PLAID. Performances run from March 1 to March 17.
Immerse yourself in the thrilling courtroom drama of Ayn Rand's Night Of January 16th at Castle Craig Players. Experience the rise and fall of a brilliant man as the audience becomes the jury, delivering their verdict at each performance.
