Personifying the clean-cut genre are the Plaids. This quartet of high-school chums' earnest dreams of recording an album ended in death (literally and indeed, symbolically) in a collision with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles' American debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. The play begins with the Plaids returning from the afterlife for one final chance at musical glory.
The songs they sing during the course of the musical include: Three Coins in the Fountain; Undecided; Gotta Be This or That; Moments to remember; Crazy 'Bout Ya, Baby; No, Not Much; Sixteen Tons; Chain Gang; Perfidia; Cry; Heart and Soul; Lady of Spain; Scotland The Brave Shangri-La; Rags to Riches; and Love is a Many-Splendored Thing
