Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Bye Bye Birdie is a tribute to The Fifties in the same vein as Grease, though Bye Bye Birdie precedes Grease by about ten years. Inspired by the hoopla that surrounded Elvis Presley's induction into the U.S. Army, the story concerns Albert Peterson, a neurotic wannabe academic who is working as an agent for rock sensation (and troublemaker) Conrad Birdie in order to pay off his debts and return to college, and the scheme he cooks up with his secretary, Rosie Alvarez, to make a killing when Conrad is drafted into the army. Since this means he'll likely be "out of action" for at least two years, which--as we all know--might as well be forever in the entertainment business, Albert needs to cash in big and cash in now. |
