Bye Bye Birdie is the big-hearted & hilarious musical extravaganza that won four Tony Awards including Best Musical. Bye Bye Birdie features a joyous score, a hilarious
book, and so much dancing you will get a workout just watching! Award-winning director Bradley Moore puts a fresh spin on this musical theatre classic that features an immensely talented cast of local creatives that will knock your bobby socks off!
When the draft selects rock star Conrad Birdie, his fans are devastated, but no one more than struggling songwriter Albert Peterson, whose songs Birdie was just about to record. Albert’s longtime girlfriend, Rosie, pushes Albert to write a new tune that Birdie will perform on television and give a goodbye kiss to one lucky fan. The scheme works, with young Ohio teenager Kim McAfee declared the winner, but no one has counted on the
wrath of her jealous boyfriend. Throw in Albert’s overprotective, dramatic mother, Kim’s grumpy dad, a town full of excitable teens, and a bunch of folks trying to carve out their paths in life – Bye Bye Birdie is a gem that delivers two hours of catchy songs and hilarious laughs.
