Off-Broadway musical revived

Stuart Ross’ “Forever Plaid,” one of the most internationally popular off-Broadway musicals to hit the stage, is being performed at the Houston Family Arts Center. This nostalgic, 1950s revue on the Garza Main Stage runs through Feb. 21.

Frankie, Jinx, Sparky, and Smudge are The Plaids. One the way to their first big gig, their cherry red 1954 Mercury collided with a school bus, and The Plaids were killed instantly. Now, they’ve come back to Earth for one final performance. The Plaids will sing some of the greatest hits of the 1950s, including “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Chain Gang” and “Heart and Soul.”

Performances of “Forever Plaid” are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. Tickets are $26 for adults, $22 for seniors and $15 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at www.houstonfac.com, or by phone at 281-5876100. Special pricing is available for groups of 10 or more.

The center is located at 10760 Grant Road in Houston.
