	reviewjournal.com -- Neon: SHOW REVIEW: 'Forever Plaid'
		The Four Plaids resurrect the harmony-group sound of the late 1950s in a musical that's more involved than it first seems.
		Audiences need to be pulled close to share the personality quirks of the Four Plaids, likeable underachievers out to stage "the biggest comeback since Lazarus" after a cosmic convergence lets them do the show they never made it to in 1964.
		When it debuted, "Plaid" was way ahead of the Strip's current interest in theater, and the effort to make a complicated show look easy is still a bit out of phase with productions centered on stagecraft.

	Forever Plaid: Forever Nostalgia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		As a group, the Plaids embody the sound of four-part male harmony that was a staple of the late fifties; as a play, Forever Plaid memorializes the death of a sound at the hands of rock and roll, and celebrates the pursuit of dreams despite insurmountable odds.
		The story behind Forever Plaid hinges on the fact that the Beatles have killed the Plaids, literally, and the real story takes place before the play even begins: the Plaids are Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie, four friends who met in their high school’s audio-visual club and who share a love of singing.
		Forever Plaid is not only a chance to perform the music they love; it is also a chance to hit a high that most likely would have eluded them in life.

	Reviews - Forever Plaid - Confederation Centre of the Arts, Prince Edward Island
		Forever Plaid is the kind of summer fare so many people say they’re looking for, pure entertainment from start to finish.
		Forever Plaid is the fictional story of Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie, four guys form Pennsylvania who love to sing four-part harmonies and dream of one day making it big in the music world.
		There is something in Forever Plaid that appeals to almost everybody, from romantic fifties ballads and comic romps through the palm trees with the troupe in full calypso mode to a breakneck version of The Ed Sullivan Show, complete with jugglers, dancers, acrobats and puppets that clocks in at just over three minutes.

	It's not argyle, or velvet, it's Forever Plaid
		Destiny took a cruel turn, however, when Forever Plaid, on the way to be fitted for their plaid tuxedos, was struck by a bus load of 13-year-old Catholic girls from Our Lady of Harrisburg, en route to see the Beatles make their American debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.
		Thus, the Plaids were deprived of ever fulfilling their lifelong dream of harmonizing for the public.
		The Plaids are transplanted into 1997 with all of the mannerisms and squareness of high school boys in 1964, which makes them corny, charming and lovable all at the same time.

		Although the Plaids quartet was formed in the 1950s, they almost got their big break when they booked a gig at a hotel cocktail bar in 1964.
		The Four Plaids were not always in sync with Shawn Storm’s choreography yet any misstep became a subtle reminder of how precise the vocal groups of the 1950’s and 60s always had to be.
		The Forever Plaid orchestra was easily led by the skilled Tom Lipps on piano with Adam Bishop on bass.
