ITS HOLIDAY SHOWTIME AT MIDTOWN THEATRE — and They’re Back! Frankie, Jinx, Sparky and Smudge  – the legendary “Plaids” of Forever Plaid fame — will present the most hilarious, harmonic, musical comedy of the season in the Charleston premier of Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings!  

Filled with your favorite Holiday standards, as well as your favorite doo-wop songs of the 50’s and 60’s, this truly “heaven-sent” holiday treat will lift audiences’ spirits and fill them with nostalgia for a bygone era of classic music sung in perfect harmony. 

Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings will be directed by Lowcountry musical theatre veterans Ryan Ahlert and Brandon Joyner, both former “Plaids” themselves. “It was a blast performing in the original Forever Plaid years ago with Midtown and Ryan”, Joyner says. “Working together now as directors of the holiday sequel has been such a joy!”  Ahlert adds “This show is a nostalgic walk down ‘Memory Lane’ for the older crowd, and the perfect introduction to a fantastic era of doo-wop harmonies in music for the younger set. Come and bring the whole family!”

International Piano-Prodigy, Chee-Hang See, returns to Midtown as Musical Director, after his highly acclaimed debut in Charleston Musical Theatre with last season’s “The Fantasticks.”  Starring as “the Plaids” will be: Xan Rogers (Pippin, It’s Only A Play) as “Smudge; Ryan Hendricks (Sweeny Todd, Spring Awakening, Tick, Tick, Boom) as “Jinx”; newcomer Michael Okas (It’s Only A Play) as “Frankie”; and Justin Borak (Sweeny Todd, Dogfight, Almost Maine) as “Sparky”.
