Filed under: Events — admin at 4:27 pm on Monday, July 3, 2006

Crosswinds Community Theater presents Bye Bye Birdie Friday, July 14th and 21st at 7:30 PM, Saturday, July 15th and 22nd at 2:30 & 7:30 PM,  and Sunday, July 16th  and July 23rd at 2:30 PM. The Theater opens one half hour before each show.

The worst possible thing has happened!  Conrad Birdie, the biggest singing sensation of the late 50′s has been drafted!  Teenie-boppers from all over the country are crying and fainting at the thought!  Before he heads off to war, his manager has cooked up the ultimate publicity stunt.  He will kiss one randomly chosen member of his fan club goodbye on the Ed Sullivan Show.  Little does Kim MacAfee from Sweet Apple, Ohio know that her life is about to change forever when she becomes the lucky girl to receive the “One Last Kiss”.  Set in the late 50′s, this is a fond and hilarious look back at an innocent age where teenagers ruled the world and parents did their best to keep them from growing up too fast.  This show is sure to help you “Put on a Happy Face”!
 
Originally produced by Edward Padula, Bye Bye Birdie has music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Lee Adams, and the book is by Michael Stewart.
