“Put On a Happy Face” and take yourselves down to the Bay Street Theatre where Stages, A Children’s Theater Workshop Inc will present the Rock-n-Roll Musical Bye Bye Birdie!
Before Hairspray or Grease… there was Bye Bye Birdie!! This ultimate Rock –n –Roll musical filled with teenage fun and great songs has something for the entire family. It’s the 1960’s and heartthrob singing sensation Conrad Birdie, loosely based on Elvis Presley, is going into the army. His manger Albert and his secretary Rosie have cooked up a publicity stunt to give him a big send off! He will bestow ‘One last Kiss” to one lucky fan, Kim MacAfee, on the Ed Sullivan show before he leaves. With a town full of colorful characters and crazed, screaming teenagers, Bye Bye Birdie brings us all back to a simpler time before cell phones, and computers!
This highly entertaining Tony award winning musical features a book by Michael Stewart and music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Lee Adams.
The cast consists of over 30 local actors age 8-18 directed and choreographed by Helene Leonard.
Stages will present Bye Bye Birdie at The Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor Saturday May 2 at 2:00 and 7:30 and Sunday May 3 at 2:00. All tickets are only $15 and can be purchased at The Bay Street Theatre Box office or charge by phone at 631-725-9500.
