Bye Bye Birdie at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Fred Kavli Theatre

Before Beatle-Mania, before Bieber Fever, there was the first, the original… Conrad Birdie! Now Conrad is joining the Army, and America is going Birdie-crazy, when Cabrillo Music Theatre brings back one of our most popular musicals, last produced on the Kavli Theatre stage in 1998! The town of Sweet Apple, Ohio, goes bonkers when the nation’s most popular singer and heart-throb, Conrad Birdie, arrives to give his biggest fan one last kiss before going into the army – and on the Ed Sullivan Show, of course! BYE BYE BIRDIE combines humor, dance, nostalgia, satire, and rock-and-roll music with Cabrillo’s brand-new version of the Tony-winning hit. “Put On A Happy Face,” “The Telephone Hour,” “Kids” and “A Lot of Livin’ To Do” lead the hit parade of songs in this fitting finale to Cabrillo’s 20th Anniversary Celebration! Perfect for all audiences, BYE BYE BIRDIE will have the Kavli Theatre rocking in the summer of 2014!
