Forever Plaid

Venue: Cabaret at Theater Square

Time: 7:30 p.m.
Ticket price: $25-$36
Ticket contact info: 412-456-6666

The New York musical comedy hit Forever Plaid is the deliciously funny and charming story of “The Plaids,” a classic 1950s all-male singing group, who were killed in a car crash on their way to their first big gig! 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.”

May 14: Kathleen Edwards

After being hailed as one of the finest and most distinctive singer-songwriters to emerge in 2003, Kathleen Edwards is poised to vault to the front rank of contemporary music with her superlative sophomore album, Back To Me.

Back To Me (out March 1, 2005 on Zoë/Rounder) features 11 new songs that cover an ambitious range of themes, styles and emotions: from the brash bracingly-delivered self-confidence of the driving title cut to unique takes on matters of the heart on "Old Time Sake" and "Summerlong" to the bruised emotions of "Independent Thief" and "Away," climaxing with the hard-earned wisdom of "Good Things."

CD Live is a presentation of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Three Rivers Arts Festival and WYEP FM.
