KENNEDY CENTER presents: Bye Bye Birdie
The year is 1958, and the much-adored rockand-roll idol — Conrad Birdie — has been drafted into the US Army. His songwriter and agent, Albert, and Albert’s secretary and sometime girlfriend, Rosie, hatch a plan for a farewell performance to take place on The Ed Sullivan Show, which they hope will help sell Birdie’s new song “One Last Kiss,” and ultimately save Almaelou records from going under. 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. When Albert and Rosie head to Sweet Apple to prepare for Birdie’s arrival, things start to unravel. Kim’s father is starstruck at the thought of being on The Ed Sullivan Show with his daughter, and Kim’s new steady, Hugo gets jealous at the thought of Kim kissing Conrad on national television. We will depart Manassas at 9:45 a.m. and Wood bridge at 10:30 a.m. Return time is approximately 5:39 p.m. A stop for lunch on your own will be made at the Pentagon Mall Food Court departing there at 12:45 p.m. for the Kennedy Center for the 2:00 p.m. matinee.
