Superstar Conrad Birdie and his adoring fans.

The story revolves around rock ‘n’ roll superstar Conrad Birdie (loosely based on Elvis Presley), who, to the dismay of his adoring fans, is about to be drafted into the Army. Featuring a book by Michael Stewart, music by Charles Strouse, and lyrics by Lee Adams, comic complications ensue when, as part of one last publicity stunt cooked up by his agent, he promises to give a good-bye kiss to one lucky girl from Sweet Apple, Ohio, on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” The upbeat score features “How Lovely To Be a Woman,” “The Telephone Hour,” “Put On A Happy Face,” “A Lot of Livin’ To Do” and “One Last Kiss.”

The show is directed by Melissa Murphy-Leite, musically directed by Martha Gannon, assisted by Amanda Tarantelli and Christine Payette. Set construction by Maurice Ouellette. Bye Bye Birdie is appropriate for families & children.
