Opening night is Friday, March 3, and there are six performances on the schedule at Fort Vancouver High School
Put on a happy face, because it’s almost time to watch Bye Bye Birdie.
The loving musical send-up of the early 1960s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock ‘n roll, Bye Bye Birdie remains as fresh and vibrant as ever.
Beginning this week, Journey Theater is presenting Bye Bye Birdie — young performers edition — at Fort Vancouver High school.
Bye Bye Birdie tells the story of heartthrob Conrad Birdie. He has been drafted, so he chooses All-American girl Kim McAfee for a very public farewell kiss.
The musical has strong parts for children, and a hilarious script. It remains one of the most popular shows in schools across the country.
Hit songs include: “Put on a Happy Face,” “One Last Kiss,” “One Boy,” “A lot of Livin’ to Do,” “Kids!” and “Rosie.”
