 | A scene from Forever Plaid
(© Neil Peter Jampolis) |
A pre-taped version of the hit musical Forever Plaid will get a one-night screening in over 350 theaters nationwide on Thursday, July 9.
The story follows a 1960s quartet of close harmony singers who, on their way to their first real gig, are wiped out by a bus full of Catholic schoolgirls (who are, ironically, on their way to see the Beatles). Forty years later, the group is brought back to earth for one night to perform the show they never got a chance to perform in life.
The pre-taped version stars original cast members Larry Raben as Sparky, David Engel as Smudge, and Stan Chandler as Jinx, along with Daniel Reichard as Frankie, while David Hyde Pierce will provide the narration.
In conjunction with the screening, there will be a special live introduction of the film at L.A.'s Club Nokia by members of the film's cast and special guest star Carol Channing, which will be transmitted to the theaters via satellite.
