Forever Plaid
Dec 15 & 19 at 7:00 pm on The Main Stage
Forever Plaid, the show that broke all Puerto Vallarta box office records returns to The Main Stage this week. Relive an era when doo-wop was king, big hairdos were in, cars had enormous fins, and the harmonizing bands of the 50s were all the rage. Directed by Alfonso Lopez, this hallmark jukebox musical comedy by Stuart Ross centers on a quartet whose dream of recording an album ended in a bus collision while on their way to their biggest gig. Now they've been miraculously revived for the show that never was. You'll be humming along with the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950's and rollin' in the aisles from the delightful patter of the original clean-cut boy band - The Plaids. Produced by Act II Entertainment and starring local performers Elvis Martinez, Alfonso Lopez, Roberto Duran and Jose Maria Caudillo with Bob Bruneau at the piano, Forever Plaid features such hits as Sixteen Tons, Chain Gang, Three Coins in the Fountain, Perfidia, Cry, Catch a Falling Star, Day-O, Gotta Be This or That, Matilda, and Heart and Soul. If you can't make it this week, mark your calendars for the Dec 21 & 22 shows at 7:00 pm on The Main Stage.
