2017 Bye Bye Birdie

Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses all-American girl Kim McAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a tuneful high-energy score, plenty of great parts, and a hilarious script, Bye Bye Birdie remains one of the most popular shows across the country. Songs include “One Last Kiss,” “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” “Kids!” and “Rosie.”

May 5th and 6th at the Sun Prairie Performing Arts Center
