'Bye Bye Birdie'

Before the Swifties, before the Beyhive, before New Kids on the Block, and even before Beatlemania… there was Conrad. The 1963 musical Bye Bye Birdie shows just how much – and how little – teenagehood has changed through the lens of girls, their friends, and their teen idol obsessions. Enjoy it under the stars in Brand Park thanks to the Alex Theatre’s outdoor series. Classics like “The Telephone Hour” (a concept you might have to explain to anyone under 25!) and “Put on a Happy Face” will have you singing all the way home.
