By George Bernard Shaw.
Love versus money. Shaw's masterpiece has everything: young love, hypnotism, loud explosions, philandering, burglary and music. Into the eccentric household of Captain Shotover and his daughter Hesione comes Ellie Dunn, a young woman ready to marry for money rather than love. Should financial concerns take priority over romantic ones, or should we hold onto our ideals, regardless of the consequences?

Audiences will be rolling in the aisles and tapping their toes as “The Plaids” are miraculously revived to perform the concert that never was in this hilariously nostalgic musical! Performing precision harmonies and executing their delightfully outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, “The Plaids” perform some of the 1950s greatest hits: “Catch a Falling Star,” “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing” and “Magic Moments.”
