Bye Bye Birdie

Jun 24 – Sep 8, 2016 / The Goodspeed - 6 Main Street, East Haddam, CT 06423 view map

EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND THRU SEPT 8

Put on a happy face! Army-bound rock star Conrad Birdie's farewell appearance in Sweet Apple, Ohio is the talk of the town. But it's a teenage crisis for new "steadies" Hugo and Kim: she just won the chance to give Birdie one last kiss before boot camp. Kids, parents and show folk collide in the Goodspeed debut of the hip-swiveling musical comedy set at the dawn of the sensational '60s. Bring the entire family to discover we've got a lot of livin' to do!

AMICA INVITES YOU TO BE IN THE KNOW!
