Overview

From the team behind the massively successful production of Hairspray comes the classical Broadway musical, Bye Bye Birdy.

Bye Bye Birdy is the 1960s rock 'n' roll inspired parody of what happens to a typical, small Midwestern community when a musician more than a little like Elvis Presley comes rolling through town looking for one last kiss before being shipped off into the army.

Women love him, men want to be him and teenage girls across the country scream his name until they’re blue in the face at the mere mention of his name. Rock Star Conrad Birdie is the biggest thing to top the charts - until he gets drafted into the US military.

Conrad’s long suffering agent, Albert, panics as he sees his cash cow packed off to very different pastures new, and plans one last big stunt for the rock’n’roll sex symbol.
