Really wish I could see this. BIRDIE isn’t one of my very favorite shows (& it’s very much a period piece, in some respects-not big news, I know), but it’s a well-wrought show that really works, when done well. And this is a marvelous cast! Wishing cast, crew, everyone involved a great time & much success with this.
Liked all but one...that sour male harmony note (or series of notes as he tried to find the pitch) at the end of "Kids". Yeesh. The others were good! Fun-looking production.
This show doesn't really look like it has a lot of heart behind it. I don't remember the actual show but I'm sure it had more scenery and props on stage than this. Also not really too keen on their choice of Conrad. The whole point is that the show is an obvious satire of Elvis and how orgasmic he made the new generation of Americans. But Conrad looks like Little Richard especially with that mustache. I also think it's a waste of Borle's talent. Let's not forget that Albert was written for Dick van Dyke, who had limited singing ability and range. Songs like Put On a Happy Face and Talk To Me are below Borle's standards.
@@njatty This show would actually make for a great NBC live production. I thought they were going to do this as the next live musical, with J Lo as Rosie, but I gusss COVID stopped all future productions.
I saw Chita Rivera and Dick Van Dyke perform the song "Rosie" during the run of her Broadway show A DANCER'S LIFE. Both must have been in their 70s. So lithe and charming, absolutely magical. These two, not so much.
I saw it opening night. I loved it. Great energy , great music, wonderful staging.
The choreo for Telephone hour is sooooo clever! Wish this would come to Broadway.
This show always holds a special place in my heart. Looks like a great production with great casting.
So lucky I got to see this live, SPECIFICALLY for Christian Borle 💕💞💖

Anyone here for Christian Borle?
(The ending song - THAT WAS FROM THE 2009 REVIVAL)
My school did Bye Bye Birdie last year! I still adore the show :)
I will always put on a happy face for Bye Bye Birdie
I remember it like it was yesterday!
Krysta looks so much like Chita Rivera here, the resemblance is uncanny 😳
Please transfer to Broadway! Please transfer to Broadway! Please transfer to Broadway!
I WISH I COULD SEE THIS😭😭😭 if only i didnt live across the globe HAHAHJ oh well,,,
Conrad Birdie can only count to 7.
You know
This could be a monster hit on Broadway right now
Just sayin...

Kids! What’s the matter with kids these days?

Hard to believe this Birdie is still of draft age. But then this whole cast looks pretty geriatric.

Looks quite bland. CB tap dancing will surely sell tickets so whatever

saw it closing night; it was MUCH more lively and beautiful than the press makes it look
Truly I think this cast was pretty bad.
