Musical Theatre returns to Blackheath Halls this summer with this classic high-school musical brought back to life. USA 1958, Teem hearthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army, so he chooses All-American girl Kim MacAfee for a very public farewell kiss before he heads off. Inspired by Elvis Presley's army days and full of rock & roll tunes, Bye Bye Birdie captures the energy of small-town American teenagers and remains as fresh and vibrant as ever.
