Kweskin Theatre


Our 28th Season

BYE, BYE BIRDIE (Summer Youth Theatre production)

Director - Larry Gabbard
Music Director - Tony Bellomy
Choreographer - Kristin Ruggieri

Bye, Bye, Birdie is America’s first rock and roll musical and received the 1961 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Direction and Best Choreography of a Musical.

It is 1958, and America’s teens are swept away by the rock and roll craze, but their idol and heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted to serve in the US Army, leaving many teenage girls beside themselves with grief, not to mention Almaelou Music Corporation (Conrad’s recording label) in a panic! Almaelou co-owner and Conrad’s manager, Albert Peterson, along with his faithful girlfriend and secretary, Rose Alvarez have a plan on how they can give Conrad a proper send-off and still keep teens clambering for more: Conrad Birdie will give one of his adoring, female fans one, last kiss goodbye on the Ed Sullivan show with millions of Americans watching!

Randomly yet fatefully selected for this kiss is 15 year-old Kim MacAfee from Sweet Apple, Ohio – president of the Conrad Birdie fan club. But Kim has just been “pinned” to her steady boyfriend, Hugo Peabody. Can their relationship survive this test? Will the wholesome town of Sweet Apple survive Conrad’s hip-swiveling, degenerative influence? Will the MacAfees survive their home being turned upside-down while Conrad, Albert and Rose stay with them until the broadcast? And when Albert’s domineering and disapproving mother shows up, will Albert and Rosie survive each other?
