WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Bye Bye Birdie, the exuberant rock n' roll musical comedy, it's 1960 and hip-swingin' teen idol superstar Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army. Birdie's manager Albert (John Stamos) and his secretary Rosie (Gina Gershon) have cooked up a plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a lucky teenage fan... on The Ed Sullivan Show!
Bye Bye Birdie received the 1961 Tony Award for Best Musical and features such beloved songs as "Put on A Happy Face," "Kids," "Spanish Rose," "The Telephone Hour" and "A Lot of Livin' To Do."

A wonderful show
I was thrilled to see "Bye Bye Birdie" on Broadway again recently. John Stamos and Bill Irwin were terrific. Irwin had me laughing every time he appeared on stage. The rest of the cast was good too. The costumes, dancing and scenery were great. Folks, dont listen to the critics - go and see this fabulous show.

Theater lovers will go to the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Bye Bye Birdie with twice the usual anticipation. Not only is this the first Broadway revival of the beloved 1960 musical, it is also the unveiling of the newly redesigned Henry Miller's Theatre on West 43rd Street. After seeing the show, most audience members will likely leave with considerable satisfaction about the new theater, but will feel ambivalent, if not downright disappointed by, about this surprisingly mediocre and ultimately miscast production.
The musical -- which features a fabulous score by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse and book by Michael Stewart -- is set primarily in the fictional town of Sweet Apple, Oh[...]
