The Cabaret at Theater Square
Home to fantastic musical productions, late-night entertainment, live music, and outstanding food, the Cabaret at Theater Square is the Cultural District’s newest performance venue providing unique live music and theatrical performances year-round.
Book by Stuart Ross Music and Lyrics by Various Artists Musical Continuity Supervision and Arrangements by James Raitt Directed and Choreographed by Guy Stroman The New York musical comedy hit Forever Plaid is the deliciously funny and charming story of "The Plaids," a classic 1950's all-male singing group, who were killed in a car crash on the 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."
The Cabaret Menu features delicious appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks for a complete cabaret experience. CLO ticket holders may simply arrive up to 90 minutes before curtain to enjoy food & beverage service inside the theater. No additional reservations are needed, and service is available before the show as well as during intermission. Late Night patrons enjoy service the whole night through.
