Celebrate the return of live theater at Drury Lane with audience favorite Forever Plaid. A delightful revue packed with 1950s barbershop flare, Forever Plaid was originally written, directed, and choreographed by Stuart Ross, with musical continuity supervision and arrangements by James Raitt, and originally produced by Gene Wolsk.

On the way to their first big gig, tragedy strikes Forever Plaid, a "guy group" specializing in barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies. Forever Plaid begins when the guys are given the chance to perform from the afterlife.
