Forever Plaid

So excited to add this to my DVD collection. Arrived in a timely manner with no shipping issues!

I was unable to see the play in person, so I was happy to find that someone had the forethought to put a performance on DVD. If you like some of the older male four-part harmony groups, such as, The Four Lads & The Four Aces, then you should appreciate "Forever Plaid". I did not particularly care for their zany Caribbean medley, nor their ultra zany synopsis of Ed Sullivan's old variety show (I thought it detracted from, and basically ruined "Lady of Spain"). The rest of the "show" was well done, and reminiscent of the great groups of the late 50s & early 60s. Because these guys harmonized so well together, I wish they had sung a few more of the great oldie ballads. They did not have to "dress" the show up with goofy stuff--to me that effort was the show's biggest negative. However, the good far outweighed the bad, therefore, I recommend you get your own copy of "Forever Plaid The Movie". I should mention that my wife said she thought the "show" was more like a nightclub act, rather than a Broadway worthy musical.

Okay I am a FOREVER PLAID fan! The show ran forever in Las Vegas, first at the FLAMINGO then at the GOLD COAST...and I've seen FOREVER PLAID 8 times!Now the performance is on DVD (I would have really wanted to see the LAS VEGAS cast in DVD, but every actor I had seen in this show was terrific, funny and bitter-sweet. Thanks to the Producing company who transfered the show to DVD to preserve it forever; You know,FOREVER PLAID has a small cast, but has a big heart...Oh yeah, the piantist not only supplied the music but he was a vital part of the show and added a lot of inter play with the cast and audience!One minor flaw...the entire PERRY COMO segment had been edited from the DVD. It is a nice part of the script, and I'm sorry that it was cut.If you are a Broadway fan and love live performances filmed on Stage, buy this DVD. But then I'm sure you already own it! TERI

Listening to those old tunes from the 1950's, being sung by the 4 man group that lost their lives in an accident on their way to their first performance. It's a tall tale, and one that is completely enchanting to watch. The 4 players take their songs on this story. Their stories are short, cute and fun. I actually saw this play when it was still on stage and am plaidly, gladly it came out on DVD. You'll find yourself singing these tunes long after the show is over.

Hilarious and fun. Not as good as seeing it live-in-person, but, if you can't find it in a theatre, this is the next best thing. Such a fun, funny show, and, of course, great music!

To be honest, we had never heard of Forever Plaid. It was brought to our attention by Daniel Reichard (Frankie). We have seen Daniel Reichard perform 21 times in the role of Bob Gaudio in the Broadway Show Jersey Boys and currently (8 times) in the National Tour of THE MIDTOWN MEN and admire his work and wanted to see more of his artistic talents. Other than the trailer we had no idea what to expect from this production. Much to our great pleasure, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie, the harmony of the four men, and seeing Daniel perform in another role. For those of you who remember The Ed Sullivan Show, you will just love their rendition of that Sunday night show. You will be amazed that Heart & Soul has so many lyrics... I was.If you enjoy musical talent, this is well worth it to add to your "repertoire".

Unbeatable for musicality, humor and pure enjoyment. The storyline is a bit weak in my opinion but the singing more than makes up for it.

Fun to watch choreography . Saw them twice when they were in Dallas. Wonder, tho, if the same foursome. Don’t think so.

If you like 1950's pre-rock 'n' roll music, you'll love this. Great music, great fun.
