BYE BYE BIRDIE
The year is 1958, and the much-adored rock-and roll idol, Conrad Birdie, has been drafted into the US Army. His songwriter and agent, Albert & his secretary/some-time girlfriend, Rosie, hatch a plan for a farewell performance to take place on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in NYC, which they hope will help sell Birdie’s new song “One Last Kiss”.  To cap off the performance, Birdie will actually give ‘one last kiss’ to Kim MacAfee, an avid member of the Conrad Birdie fan club from Sweet Apple, Ohio.
