Albert and Rosie, the lead characters of this comedic musical, are both facing a big problem: Conrad Birdie, the rock-and-roll star Albert manages, is now being conscripted to the army. In a last-ditch publicity effort for the star, the couple plan to have Conrad sing and give his last kiss to a lucky girl on a live broadcast of the popular Ed Sullivan Show. Despite their meticulous planning, Albert and Rosie still face a lot of hurdles. The first of which involves the lucky girl, Kim McAfee, and her budding relationship with fellow teenager Hugo Peabody.

Bye Bye Birdie, which premiered on Broadway in 1960, was inspired by the phenomenon of Elvis Presley. The character name of Conrad Birdie, on the other hand, was taken from Conway Twitty, an early rival of Elvis. The musical bagged several Tony Awards on its initial run and received many positive reviews. The production also had a US tour and inspired a few film adaptations.
