Reston Players' 'Forever Plaid'

If June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson are your idea of desperate housewives, and if you linger for a few extra moments in elevators just for the music, then the Reston Community Players have got a show for you. Everyone [ ] will [ ] enjoy the tight four-part harmonies and the corny comedy before, during and after the songs. Veterans *Vig deBoeuf, baritone, and *Jinx the second, tenor, who have performed their roles in previous area productions of the show, lead tenor *Sparky Jr. and [ ] *Smudge the third nicely through their paces. Jinx serves as choreographer. The singing is flawless, the harmonies rich and full. There is a great deal of complicated comedy material, usually timed to the split second. They perform it perfectly and earn hearty laughs. Each singer gets to flesh out his "character" as they go about their business, which includes a show-stopping re-creation of "The Ed Sullivan Show" that encapsulates everything you may remember of the show's regular guests and routines. The bit is a frenzy of props and impersonations, while Jinx sings "Lady of Spain." It's uproariously funny. An opening weekend performance generated loud applause - {AND A STANDING OVATION!}


*not our real names.
