What better way to start the new year than with a goofy, charming musical escape? Miraculously revived from the dead, four young singers killed in a car crash on the way to their first-ever big concert get to fulfill their dream and perform the show after all — even though now it’s more than 50 years later and at International City Theatre! Singing in close harmony, squabbling over the smallest intonations and executing their choreography with gentle comedic abandon, the four Plaids will keep everyone smiling and humming along to some of the great pop hits of the ’50s. The crowd-pleasing score consists of unforgettable classics including “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Catch a Falling Star,” “Chain Gang,” “Cry,” “Heart and Soul,” “Rags to Riches,” "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" and many more. Feb. 15 through March 5 at International City Theatre in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 330 East Seaside Way, Long Beach, CA 90802; $35-$55; (562) 436-4610; www.InternationalCityTheatre.org.
