Bye Bye Birdie is a classic, high-energy musical comedy set in the 1950s that satirizes the frenzy of rock and roll culture and teenage idol obsession. The story follows rock star Conrad Birdie, who is drafted into the army, and the chaos that ensues when his manager Albert and Albert's girlfriend Rosie plan a publicity stunt for Conrad to give "one last kiss" to a lucky fan on national television—causing mayhem in the small town of Sweet Apple, Ohio.

This lively production features a talented cast of Western New York youth and seasoned professionals, blending emerging talent with experienced performers to bring the story to life. Their passion, energy, and dedication shine through every musical number and scene, making for an unforgettable theatrical experience.
