Bye Bye Birdie
A Musical Comedy
Book by Michael Stewart | Music by Charles Strouse | Lyrics by Lee Adams
Originally Produced by Edward Padula

Lots of laughs and great songs have made this favorite hit Broadway show one of the most memorable musicals of all time.

When rock star and teenage heartthrob Conrad Birdie gets drafted, the nation’s teenagers go haywire and Conrad’s songwriter, Albert, faces unemployment. So Albert and his girlfriend organize a nationwide contest in which one lucky girl wins a farewell kiss from Conrad on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Kim McAfee turns out to be the lucky teenager and Conrad’s whole entourage moves into her quiet Midwestern home – much to the chagrin of her ever-irritable father and her jealous boyfriend. The result is chaos and a series of romantic complications.
