Bye Bye Birdie is a 1960 musical comedy with book by Michael Stewart, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Lee Adams, inspired by the hoopla that surrounded Elvis Presley's induction into the U.S. Army.The story concerns Albert Peterson, a neurotic wannabe academic who is working as an agent for rock-and-roll sensation (and troublemaker) Conrad Birdie in order to pay off his debts and return to college, and the scheme he cooks up along with his secretary, Rosie Alvarez, to make a killing when Conrad is drafted into the Army. Since this means he'll likely be "out of action" for at least two years, which—as we all know—might as well be forever in the entertainment business, Albert needs to cash in big and cash in now.Albert's plan is really quite simple: all he has to do is write a hit song called "One Last Kiss" for Conrad to record, and announce that Conrad is going to perform that song for just one of his millions of hysterical fangirls, giving her that "one last kiss" in the process. Then all he has to do is keep Conrad out of trouble long enough to get him into the Army and out of his hair and the money is bound to start rolling in. What could possibly go wrong? The lucky girl turns out to be Kim MacAfee, the president of the Conrad Birdie Fan Club in Sweet Apple, Ohio, who just happens to be going out with a nerdy boy named Hugo. Hilarity Ensues.The original Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie starred Dick Van Dyke as Albert, Chita Rivera as Rosie, and Susan Watson as Kim. It won four Tony Awards including Best Musical, with Van Dyke and director/choreographer Gower Champion also winning. It was adapted into a 1963 film directed by George Sidney, starring Van Dyke, Janet Leigh as Rosie, and Ann-Margret as Kim. An ABC TV movie version was made in 1995 with Jason Alexander as Albert, Vanessa Williams as Rosie, and Chynna Phillips as Kim. In 1981 the creators wrote a sequel, Bring Back Birdie, about Albert and Rosie trying to find Birdie for a comeback TV special, with Chita Rivera re-creating her role and Donald O'Connor taking over as Albert; it was a critical and commercial disaster, lasting only four performances. | |

Age Lift | |
| Bye Bye Birdie (Theatre) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Kim is 15 years old in the stage version, but 16 in the 1963 film, and 17 in the 1995 TV film. The Dawson Casting of 23-year-old Ann-Margret in 1963 and 27-year-old (!) Chynna Phillips in 1995 probably explains this choice. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Bye Bye Birdie (Theatre) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Harry MacAfee in the 1963 movie, by a narrow margin. While quite the surly authoritarian in both the original play and in the film, in the former his behavior seems like it might be situational, as he is under duress due to Conrad Birdie's rude, pretentious behavior while a guest in his house, as well as due to the prospect of his daughter being kissed by him on television. The film, however, seems to imply that Mr. MacAfee had an unpleasant nature to begin with. | |

Only Sane Man: Albert has to not only write Conrad's songs, but he's also in charge of Conrad's publicity—and Conrad. Rosie could also be considered to be an Only Sane Employee because not only does she do pretty much everything Albert does, but she also has to take care of and put up with Albert and his mother. | |

Blatant Lies: It depends on which production does it (as some might actually have Hugo saying the following in perfect clarity, just rage), but we get Hugo walking on the stage, having just tried to get into a bar. The adults ask him what he just drank. "...Milk." Pretty much every word spoken in "A Healthy, Normal American Boy". | |

| Bye Bye Birdie (Theatre) / int_5c32249d | comment |
My Way or the Highway: Harry MacAfee adopts this stance once having Birdie in the house becomes overwhelming. He announces: "I have tried to run this house on a democratic basis. I have extended the privilege of self-determination to both the woman I have married, and the children I have sired...Gentlemen, the democracy is over! Parliament has been dissolved; the Magna Carta is revoked, and Nero is back in town!" Soon after, he voices his objection of Birdie kissing Kim to his family; when Doris and Kim protest, he says to Kim: "This is my house and until you're eighteen...". Before he has a chance to finish his thought, Albert comes and announces that the kiss will be broadcast on the Ed Sullivan Show, prompting Mr.MacAfee to reconsider. | |

"Meet the Celebrity" Contest: The plot is that the title character, 1950s teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie, is about to take a break from his musical career to enter the military, and his manager Al is trying to figure out a sendoff that will thrill the fans. Rosie, Al's assistant/fiancée, comes up with this as the answer. Rosie pulls the name of a Birdie fan club member out of a drawer full of contact information, and it's announced that this girl, Kim, has won a secret contest to meet Birdie and kiss him goodbye before he leaves for the service. It's actually a subversion in that there was never really a contest - but no one outside of the management team knows that. | |

Standard '50s Father | |
| Bye Bye Birdie (Theatre) / int_6e429ce0 | comment |
Standard '50s Father: Depending on your POV, Harry MacAfee is either a straight example or a bit of a deconstruction. He is of the World War II generation, the breadwinner of his nuclear family, and clearly sees himself as the head of his household, demonstrating, albeit under provocation, a rather autocratic side to his character. | |

Jewish Mother | |
| Bye Bye Birdie (Theatre) / int_7130202a | comment |
Jewish Mother: Mae Peterson certainly acts like a stereotypical example, although she's never implied to actually be Jewish, and the sequel Bring Back Birdie reveals that she's really of Hispanic descent. | |

The '50s: Written in 1960, which was still in the cultural decade of the '50s. So, it's more of an affectionate parody of teen superstars and the music industry at this point. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: Mr. MacAfee has a very legitimate complaint with regards to Birdie essentially hijacking his family's home while a guest there. But it is also understandable that Kim, at her age, finds the prospect of being associated with the Rock 'N' Roll singer appealing. As well, she is in the process of growing up and differentiating herself from her parents, and her father could have handled the situation in a more sensitive and less domineering way than he does. | |
