,Get ready to be whisked back to the fabulous fifties when Sierra School of Performing Arts presents Bye Bye Birdie. Inspired by the iconic 1963 film featuring Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, and Ann-Margret, this musical is a vibrant celebration of the era. Dive into the story of Albert, owner of the Almaelou Music Company, and his secretary, Rosie Alvarez, as they concoct a plan to save the company from ruin after their star client, rock 'n' roll sensation Conrad Birdie, is drafted into the army. In a wild bid for a spot on national television, they arrange for Conrad to give a "goodbye kiss" to Kim MacAfee, the lucky teenage fan in Sweet Apple, Ohio, live on the most popular TV show of the time, the Ed Sullivan Show. But chaos erupts when Kim's boyfriend steps in, turning Sweet Apple upside down! Don't miss this electrifying journey packed with rollicking music, spectacular dance sequences, and hilarious antics that salute the golden age of teen idols.
