Why BYE BYE BIRDIE Returns to Broadway After Nearly 50 Years, According to the New York Times
There is no doubt that Bye Bye Birdie is one of this season's most highly anticipated shows. With an all star cast that includes John Stamos and Gina Gershon, and the cache of being one of the most popular musicals of all time, critics and audience members alike are eager to see what this revival will bring--48 years after it last left Broadway. As the New York Times points out in a special Birdie feature today, the show is not an easy revival, and has had a string of productions starring major players (such as Tommy Tune and Ann Reinking in the 1991 road show) that received a lukewarm reception.
