Forever Plaid (2009) - 4 stars out of 10

Forever Plaid (2009) - 4 stars out of 10

"Forever Plaid" is an Off-Broadway review that brings a masterful approach to the tight harmonies of the 1950's.  This quartet of Plaids comes back to life for one final chance at musical stardom, singing incredible arrangements of classic hits.  The review is very loosely tied together by stories about each song, in the style of song introductions that you would expect to hear at a concert.  Even though the story of this group is pretty cheesy, it gives purpose to the show instead of it feeling like a random cover group of 50's rock bands.  This certainly isn't my favorite musical of all time and it doesn't really have any of my favorite songs, but the harmonies are to die for and it makes for an enjoyable musical experience.
