POLYESTER The Musical is the story of The Synchronistics, an over-the-hill
ABBA wannabe group, who perform at a ‘save the public access’ TV station telethon.
It’s SPINAL TAP of the synthetic Disco 70’s.
It was 1979, twenty years ago, and The Synchronistics were big, really big,…on the “TONIGHT SHOW starring Johnny Carson” big. Their hit single, "Better Together"
rose to #2 on the Billboard Charts. Then something terrible happened that drove the group apart.
And now, twenty years later, they're back together in Maple Valley, their hometown,
to perform at the 1999 WKLN public access TV station telethon.
Will they overcome their differences from twenty years ago, act professionally, and help save WKLN from going under? Probably not. But, you never know what to expect when this dysfunctional group gets together - - one last time!
This World Premiere Musical features 16 Original Songs including, "The Funk Train," and "Bump Your Booty Rump."
