Chanhassen Dinner Theatres:
brings you another new Main Stage show with the
contagiously delightful Broadway musical,
HAIRSPRAY! Winner of eight Tony Awards
(out of thirteen nominations) including Best Musical,
running now through May 26th, 2012.
While a sweet
confection loaded with classic ‘60s teen fashions,
outrageous hairstyles, dancing and music,
HAIRSPRAY also addresses racial injustices
prevalent in 1960 America with valuable lessons to
reflect on.

Forever Plaid!
An affectionate musical
homage to the close-harmony 'guy groups' that reached
the height of popularity during the 1950s, the
fabulous foursome in Forever Plaid
has been winning over audiences for the last two
decades. Fantastically funny, and timelessly tuneful,
this clean-cut musical revue features 50s-style
crooning and hilarious antics that will leave you in
awe have you laughing yourself to tears.
They perform precision
harmonies, squabble boyishly and execute their
delightfully outlandish choreography with over-zealous
precision. Filled with dozens of nostalgic
‘50s pop hits including: “Catch a Falling Star,”
“Chain Gang,” “Day-O,” “Heart and Soul,” “Love is A
Many Splendored Thing, “ “Three Coins in the
Fountain” and many, many more!
Join the legions of Forever Plaid
fans and celebrate good music and hilarity.
