In 1964, a car carrying the band Forever Plaid to its first gig crashes headlong into a school bus. Carried to heaven before their first gig, the boys are given a second chance and return to give us a taste of what they had to offer. Stuart Ross's affectionate take on boy bands of the late fifties plays remarkably well mixing a selection of nostalgia hits sung, typically in four-part harmony with humour, a little drama and great deal of fun. The characters of Forever Plaid have a humility that is woefully lacking in the karaoke musicals in the West End at present and it is this trait that adds to the show's success...
