Before the Rolling Stones. Even before the Beatles. There was Forever Plaid. Debuting today and continuing until June 29, the musical is light-hearted fantasy steeped in '50s atmosphere. Forever Plaid's dream almost came true decades ago when it got its first gig in 1964 at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar, the Fusel Lounge.
Nothing comes easy though.
We all start at one point and then evolve throughout the course of the show. We learn things about ourselves and each other. No one seems to have a better handle on those dynamics than Kenyon. Neal brought a humanity to the play that hasn't been present in other productions, said Easterlin, who plays Jinx, the shyest member of Forever Plaid. Besides his singing experience, Kenyon has acted in or directed many productions, including a University Resident Theatre Company production of The Crucible in 1989 and the off-Broadway hit revival of Dames at Sea.
