I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Hilarious video. You and Voldemort make an excellent pair! And btw it is available by itself on DVD if anyone's interested. Might be out of print but you can probably find it on ebay.
My first ever community show was Bye Bye Birdie during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school a town away from where I lived.. I was teen ensemble and a shriner, my theatre teacher was Mr. MacAfee, Conrad used to go to my school and I knew his brother, and one of our adult ensemble members was the brother of our school's social studies teacher and taught music in another school. I made a lot of friends in that show and have a lot of fond memories.
Ughhh. I starred as Conrad in my middle school's production of Bye Bye Birdie. Was NOT ready for that role at all. I went from 6th grade as Charlie Bucket, innocent young boy, to chick magnet Conrad Birdie! Complete step out of my comfort zone...
At least the previous version had Ann Margaret and the the antics of Paul Lynde as her irascible dad. 'Kids I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!' My mom had the soundtrack to that version of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. The studio version of Birdie's songs 'Sincere' and 'One Last Kiss' were really good. The latter was cut down on film. Looks like they made the soundtrack with the intent to sell records but it was another one of those WTF moments.
I just think Dick Van Dike's Albert is a lot more likeable, and I see how the writers of the 1963 movie had to change a lot of stuff about him in order to make him more sympathetic (both taking a lot of stuff out and adding a lot of stuff).
I thought this adaptation was better than the 1963 film adaptation only because it sticks closer to the original Broadway production; but both adaptations have their problems. One of the major problems is that the show's book is flawed, and you brought out that flaw -- not enough time is spent on the Albert/Rosie relationship to make them getting together at the end believable enough.
I did know the movie existed before I watched this video (not before this video was made, but I hadn't watched it or seen it . . . watched the movie before it_) Y'all make me want to watch musicals or films with you,. I live down in Lake Charles, Louisiana, though. I'd totally do a live stream with y'all if possible, though. It'd probably get hilarious.
This video was such great fun to watch. I recently played Mrs. Peterson, and I'm surprised that I've never heard of this adaptation considering that I'm an avid researcher. But hey, I found out about it in the best possible way through you two. Let's have more of these videos please! :)
I discovered your channel while looking for this movie and I'm very grateful that that was the case. You're probably my new favorite person on TH-cam. Keep doin' what you do. (Also, might I suggest the classic "Grease 2" for one of these videos? It's on Netflix!)
Not saying that they should, but if they really wanted to Warren Carlyle and Jerry Zaks could revive Bye Bye Birdie, with Harry Styles, Ed O’Niel, Kevin Chamberlin, Mary Testa, Lindsey Mendez, Sydney Lucas and Anthony Rosenthal.
I found this on DVD a few years back and impulse bought it, despite my never having heard of this adaptation before, and was surprised by how solid it is. I have to agree-- this seemed like a worse idea than it turned out to be in the end, and it doesn't have some of the problems of the Dick Van Dyke version.
There was a made for tv music man in the late 90's early 2000's that might be worth finding. I think matthew brodrick was in it. Also, I;d love to know your thoughts on the Kelsey Grammar musical christmas carol movie.
I'm glad to see people actually acknowledge the Matthew Broderick Music Man exists. Nobody I know in real life outside my family seems to know it exists unless I bring it up.
After the hit CBS had with "Gypsy" ABC decided to get in the game with this and it was not the ratings success they had hoped! There were 3 new songs written for this film. Alexander, Williams, & Daly each got a new song, On Bway and the original film Mrs Peterson didn't have a song, "A Mother Doesn't matter" was added specifically for Tyne Daly. This movie is on Hallmark Channel quite often. I'm surprised you weren't more knowledgeable as you are usually more trivia heavy in other videos.
This is very different then the version I have on DVD, probably because this one is actually the stage version (oooh! Burn) Also, generally in High School they just cast someone vaguely Spanish looking for Rosie, but you're right, it's weird for the movie if she's not actually Spanish because you know, as a movie they have the power to actually find a Hispanic actress.
Ugh, One Boy killed me in this version. I'm playing Hugo right now, and this film took this really sweet song and just made it creepy with it's weirdly miscast Hugo and Kim and the weird faces they make and it's just uncomfortable, like "I can't say no" in the film version of Oklahoma
Also, this is for a video idea. You should talk about Tommy the musical. The one based off the who album. Let's just say, someone told me they couldn't even get through the whole movie. Please review it!!
This girl is cracking my shit up "Cuz THAT'S where the money is!" Haha
This is fantastic. I LOST it completely when he started singing "we love you Kanye" so funny.
"She's 16 ferrets in a trench coat" is my new favorite line
i am laughing too hard at 10:19 because that Death Drop out of frame was PERFECT!
"We're watching 'Invisible Dad' next." LOL!!!!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
Hilarious video. You and Voldemort make an excellent pair!
And btw it is available by itself on DVD if anyone's interested. Might be out of print but you can probably find it on ebay.
"You and Voldemort make an excellent pair!" ... Favourite compliment ever. XD
it is also on youtube! The full thing!
ANYWAY HERE WONDERWALL!! Tommy please bring her back for more videos this was amazing
Nothing makes me happier than your giggle it's so cute
Tomorrow: Musical Theatre Mash guy and Voldemort watches "Invisible Dad"
I want these videos to come back so much omg
JASON ALEXANDER TO THE RESCUE OH MY GAWD TOMMY AND VOLDEMORT YALL ARE AMAZING
I love this channel, its a beautiful mix of musicals with nostalgia critic type commentary
please watch grease 2 with voldemort
Y E S
You two are the best! I need to watch movie musicals with both of you and make sassy comments. Hahaha
My first ever community show was Bye Bye Birdie during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school a town away from where I lived..

I made a lot of friends in that show and have a lot of fond memories.
Also, this is some of the most fun i've had watching any video.
And also, please make more of these types of videos, hearing your gigglefits is adorable as all hell.
I can't stop screaming BYE BYE BUR-HE!!!
Ughhh. I starred as Conrad in my middle school's production of Bye Bye Birdie. Was NOT ready for that role at all. I went from 6th grade as Charlie Bucket, innocent young boy, to chick magnet Conrad Birdie! Complete step out of my comfort zone...
I share the enthusiasm for Victor Garber!
I love him!
He's still my favorite Anthony in Sweeney Todd.
I havent seen the 60s version. I remember seeing this a while ago and remembered enjoying it.
I did this musical in high school and I still get war flashbacks from We Love You Conrad.
This video came out the day after I found the recording of my eight grade production. uuuuugh The Ursula scream still haunts my vocal cords
More of these live commentary over movie please!! It was hilarious. I love your banter as well. MORE!! 🙏🏼✌🏼️
At least the previous version had Ann Margaret and the the antics of Paul Lynde as her irascible dad. 'Kids I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!'

You are people that I want to be friends with
"it's a love story with a lot of other baggage" Isn't that every musical?
I need to see invisible dad commentary
I was gonna say... how have you never seen that Tv version of ByeBye Birdie - but then you got me with Gepetto --haven't seen that !!

It's almost worthwhile to watch this for Tyne Daley's performance, which as I recall wasn't too shabby.
This video was such great fun to watch. I recently played Mrs. Peterson, and I'm surprised that I've never heard of this adaptation considering that I'm an avid researcher. But hey, I found out about it in the best possible way through you two. Let's have more of these videos please! :)

It was a made for television movie on network TV and aired in 1995.
And I thought nothing could be worse than the 60's version...
This isnt better? This is almost beat for beat the stage version
Not saying that they should, but if they really wanted to Warren Carlyle and Jerry Zaks could revive Bye Bye Birdie, with Harry Styles, Ed O’Niel, Kevin Chamberlin, Mary Testa, Lindsey Mendez, Sydney Lucas and Anthony Rosenthal.
I'd forgotten about this one. Wow, those teenagers look hella old.🤦🏽♀️

I DID know this existed
I got they Kanye tickets, let’s go
yayyyy!!!!! love commentaries!!! :D
Shia labeouf as Conrad birdie is the Indiana jones sequel we deserve
Watching 'Bye Bye Birdie' with Voldemort. Love!
had to stop watching the video because you didn't know who Vanessa Williams was. you've got to respect the greats.
There was a made for tv music man in the late 90's early 2000's that might be worth finding. I think matthew brodrick was in it. Also, I;d love to know your thoughts on the Kelsey Grammar musical christmas carol movie.
+StarsFlyBy The Music Man with Broderick was... awful. Or more precisely, Broderick was awful. And nobody could top Buddy Hackett and Robert Preston.
Broderick was awful, which is why I'd love to see him watch it! lol
I'm glad to see people actually acknowledge the Matthew Broderick Music Man exists. Nobody I know in real life outside my family seems to know it exists unless I bring it up.
What’s in your coffee cup?!?!?
BRING IN THE DANCIN LOBSTAS!
I feel like getting a chance to sit and watch a movie with you would be great ( not in a 'Netflix and chill' way though)
what exactly do you have in that cup? you guys are having way too much fun!
I can't find the 60s version on DVD or Blu-ray.
Ah, the origin of "Voldemort". Love it!
I live near where this was filmed in fort Langley
After the hit CBS had with "Gypsy" ABC decided to get in the game with this and it was not the ratings success they had hoped! There were 3 new songs written for this film. Alexander, Williams, & Daly each got a new song, On Bway and the original film Mrs Peterson didn't have a song, "A Mother Doesn't matter" was added specifically for Tyne Daly. This movie is on Hallmark Channel quite often. I'm surprised you weren't more knowledgeable as you are usually more trivia heavy in other videos.
Voldemort sounds kinda like the best friend from the cinderella story with selena gomez, the girl with the orange van that barely works and the tutus
I really wanna know what you're drinking in that cup! I want some!
This is very different then the version I have on DVD, probably because this one is actually the stage version (oooh! Burn)
Also, generally in High School they just cast someone vaguely Spanish looking for Rosie, but you're right, it's weird for the movie if she's not actually Spanish because you know, as a movie they have the power to actually find a Hispanic actress.
Ugh, One Boy killed me in this version. I'm playing Hugo right now, and this film took this really sweet song and just made it creepy with it's weirdly miscast Hugo and Kim and the weird faces they make and it's just uncomfortable, like "I can't say no" in the film version of Oklahoma
Was Janet Leigh Hispanic?
13:01 She just suddenly emerged
Tyne Daily Is a International Treasure!!!
+Tony Avard True. Fact.
I know this is old, but I think the only reason why it would be unrated was it was a made for TV.
So was no one gonna mention one third of Wilson Phillips was in this movie, and make a "Hold On" joke?
He is too cute.
The girl in the room didn't know that there are black hispanics. Nice.
Hope you filmed Invisible Dad
Also, this is for a video idea. You should talk about Tommy the musical. The one based off the who album. Let's just say, someone told me they couldn't even get through the whole movie. Please review it!!
there a show of the week he did months ago
OMG yu two are so funny, you should watch Cinderella with Brandy, Victor Garber is in it!
“I was picturing nick Jonas in my head-*we all were*”
"Ready-er"
You should watch teen witch. It's got 'music' in it.
12:28-You remembered "The Amanda Show"?
Hahaha cuz that's Venus Williams hahaha
Voldemort FTW
So, is she your girlfriend?! ;)
Shame if she's not - y'all are insanely cute together, whoever she is.
can you please watch once upon a mattress I really want to hear your commentary
I could literally not watch a movie with someone talking the whole time lol
+Jose Lee Depends on the movie. Some movies are definitely improved by a running audience commentary.
I can't not watch a movie without making commentary
Is that the train station from HIMYM?
You look incredibly familiar to me. You ever live in Virginia?
Jesus Christ Superstar!!!!
I thought it was bloody awful! Not as good as the 1963 movie.
WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING US WHO YOUR GUESTS ARE I WANT TO KNOW
13:04
This format is not very watchable.
Horrible remake
