Synopsis
The exuberant rock n' roll smash hit returns to Broadway for the first time in almost 50 years! It's 1960, and hip-swingin' teen idol Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army. But don't worry girls! His manager Albert has cooked up a plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a lucky teenage fan...on The Ed Sullivan Show! Featuring a score with more pop than a pack of bubble gum, including A Lot of Livin' to Do, Kids, and Put on a Happy Face, it's impossible to resist the charms of this Tony Award®-winning musical!
