Bye Bye Birdie
July 15-18, 2010 | Hernando Performing Arts Center
Synopsis
Conrad Birdie is the biggest rock & roll star of the 60's ever to be drafted into the army. None-too-successful songwriter Albert Peterson hatches a plot with Rosie, his secretary (and long-suffering girlfriend), to get Birdie to sing one of Albert's songs on the Ed Sullivan show. The pop star would then symbolically kiss goodbye a young lady chosen at random from the country's womanhood, this being his last appearance before being drafted. Kim MacAfee of Sweet Apple, Ohio, is chosen to receive the kiss. This excites the town's teen-age girls, but Hugo, her boyfriend, is not very happy. Complicated to start with, things get more tricky as everyone, including Albert's clinging mother, descends on the small town. Even Albert's chemical inventions come in useful.
