Put on a happy face! Army-bound rock star Conrad Birdie's farewell appearance is the talk of the town. (based on Elvis Presley, who was about to be inducted into the army). He travels to a small Ohio town to make his "farewell" television performance and kiss his biggest fan

But it's a teenage crisis for new "steadies" Hugo and Kim: she just won the chance to give Birdie one last kiss before boot camp. Kids, parents and show folk collide in the Goodspeed debut of the hip-swiveling musical comedy set at the dawn of the sensational '60s. BYE BYE BIRDIE is one of the most captivating musical shows of our time. It is a satire done with the fondest affection for a passing era.

An English Teacher, What Did I Ever See in Him?, Put on a Happy Face, One Boy, A Lot of Livin' to Do, Kids, Rosie and Spanish Rose are musical theatre classics. This is the tops in imagination and good old fashion fun. Bring the entire family to discover we've got a lot of livin' to do!
