A loving send-up of the 1950s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll, Bye Bye Birdie remains as vibrant as ever. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses All-American girl Kim MacAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a tuneful high-energy score, plenty of great parts for teens, and a hilarious script.
