New York–based songwriter, Albert Peterson, finds himself in trouble when his client – hip-thrusting rock
and roll superstar/teen idol, Conrad Birdie, is drafted into the Army – leaving his heavily indebted
firm in jeopardy. Albert’s secretary, Rose “Rosie” Alvarez, comes up with a last-ditch publicity stunt to
have Conrad Birdie record and perform a song before he is sent overseas. Having long been stuck in a sort
of romantic limbo for eight years, she longs for the Albert she once knew, an aspiring English teacher,
before he wrote Conrad Birdie’s first hit and abandoned those plans to pursue the seedier music industry,
Rose’s plan is to have Birdie sing “One Last Kiss” (a song she assigns Albert to write on the spot) and
give one lucky girl, chosen randomly from his fan club, a real “last kiss” on The Ed Sullivan Show before
going into the Army.
A loving send-up of the early 1960s small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll -BYE BYE BIRDIE remains as fresh and vibrant as ever.
Featuring a tuneful high-energy score including “Put on a Happy Face,” “One Last Kiss,” “One Boy,”
“A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” “Kids!,” “Rosie”and a hilarious script – BIRDIE continues to thrill audiences
around the world.
TICKETS: $10 – $15
