On the way to their first big gig, their car is broadsided by a busload of Catholic teens on their way to see the Beatles make their U.S. debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, a sign, perhaps, that the era of close harmony and innocent youth is about to pass. The teens are okay, but the Plaids are killed instantly. The timing of this particular production has special poignancy for Flaa. Como is described in the show as the Plaids' ideal person. We're dedicating the opening night performance to Perry Como, since he is such an integral part of Forever Plaid.
Doors open two hours before each performance for buffet and cash bar.
