PLAID TIDINGS

Holiday Musical

SYNOPSIS:

Forever Plaid goes Christmas! Ring in the holidays with this heartwarming, toe-tapping holiday sequel to the beloved musical Forever Plaid! Frankie, Jinx, Smudge, and Sparky descend from the stars once more, armed with their tight harmonies, hilarious antics, and a mission to save Christmas with a show-stopping concert.  With its witty banter, outrageous musical mashups, and favorite holiday hits (with a Plaid twist), this festive musical is a laugh-out-loud celebration of everything we love about the season and the perfect holiday treat for the whole family!

CASTING:

Great roles for male singers/comedic actors who can play 20’s/30s.

We will be casting 3 of the 4 roles in the show.  (The role of Smudge has been cast).

Available roles:

Francis: (Bari-Tenor) The leader and caretaker of the group, Francis has the most confidence. He takes care of his fellow Plaids and makes sure everyone knows where they’re supposed to be and what is supposed to happen next. He is also the connection between the audience and the guys. He has asthma, which acts up whenever numbers are too fast or the choreography gets too energetic. He has a great deal of compassion for the music and the group.

Sparky: (Baritone) The “cut-up” of the group, Sparky is always looking for ways to crack jokes. He is very sharp and loves singing his tailor-made solos. He wears a retainer and has a slight speech impediment or lisp. Even though he is energetic and clever, he cares for his stepbrother, Jinx. He sings with a joyous bravura and loves to perform. He loves to tell stories and relishes every word. He is the comic engine of the show.

Jinx: (High Tenor) The shy one, Jinx is usually terrified. He doesn’t always remember what songs come next or what the next move is. He is Sparky’s stepbrother and there is a little sibling rivalry going on between them. He occasionally gets a nose bleed when he sings above an A. He lives his life terrified. He was abused and beaten. He is only in the group because he sings the high notes beautifully. The others are very protective of him.
