The 1960's Elvis Themed Classic Comes To Washington DC
Bye Bye Birdie was one of the defining musicals of the early 60s. Incorporating the booming rock 'n' roll scene into its storyline with cultural touchstones like Ed Sullivan and a thinly veiled take-off of Elvis, it premiered on Broadway in 1960 and three years later and it was adapted for the silver screen, with Dyke Van Dyke reprising his role alongside Janet Leigh and Ann-Margret. Now, the Washington production of Bye Bye Birdie includes a star-studded cast including the likes of Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Ashlyn Maddox (Parade) and Richard Kind (The Producers).
Bye Bye Birdie is a musical comedy inspired by the real-life event of Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957. The play tells the story of a rock and roll singer, Conrad Birdie, who is also drafted and has to say goodbye to his fans with a final song and kiss to a lucky girl. Parodying Elvis and his screaming fans, the musical features songs such as "Put on a Happy Face", "One Last Kiss", "A Lot of Livin' to Do", and "Kids". It premiered on Broadway in 1960 and won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
