Synopsis: Four former high school friends have formed their own singing group, and wished to become like their idols – The Four Freshman, The Hi-Lo’s and The Crew Cuts. While driving to their first performance, the “Plaids” are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. They have been given this one opportunity to come back and give the performance they always wanted.
Seeking 4 (male presenting) strong singers who move well to become the Plaids:
Jinx (Tenor): The shy one. Sometimes can’t remember which song is next. Sparky is his step-brother. Jinx gets a nosebleed when singing above an A.
Frankie (Tenor): The leader of the group. Confident and compassionate. The romantic crooner of the group.
Sparky (Baritone): The class clown with a big heart. Very sharp, clever, and wears a retainer.
Smudge (Bass): The worrier. He worries about every aspect of the show & thinks the audience will not like him.
Auditions will be held at Lewisville Playhouse: 160 W. Main St. Lewisville, TX 75057.
