After much excitement and anticipation, Surflight Theatre prepares to wrap up its 2011 season with the premiere of Plaid Tidings, a special holiday edition of the hit musical Forever Plaid. It features the best of Forever Plaid all wrapped up in a festive package with a big Christmas bow on top!
Plaid Tidings continues the story of the singing group whose lives were lost in an accident involving a busload of teens en route to see “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Encouraged by a heavenly phone call from Rosemary Clooney, the high-spirited boys of Forever Plaid—Frankie, Sparky, Jinx and Smudge—are transported from the ethereal cosmos to stage a magically nostalgic holiday extravaganza for world-weary mortals on Earth. While the boys aren’t sure at first why they’ve returned, it soon becomes obvious that they have been chosen in order to bring some much-needed harmony into a discordant world.
This brand-new musical comedy is sure to please crowds of all ages, stuffed with such “Plaid-erized” Christmas standards we’ve all come to know and love including “Mr. Santa,” “Let It Snow” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Sprinkled among the Christmas classics are audience favorites like the riotous three minute and eleven second version of “The Ed Sullivan Show”—this time featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks, the Vienna Boys Choir, and a Plaid Caribbean Christmas which puts the “Day-O” in Excelsis! Packed with song and dance and plenty of holiday cheer, this is one holiday treat that is truly “heaven-sent!”
Celebrating its 62nd season of performing “Broadway at the Beach,” Surflight Theatre is located at 201 Engleside Avenue in historic Beach Haven, New Jersey—Exit 63 off NJ Parkway South and just 7 miles south of the causeway on Long Beach Island.
