'Bye Bye Birdie'

“Bye Bye Birdie” tells the story of a rock ‘n’ roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer, Conrad Birdie, an Elvis Presley type, has a pompadour and thick sideburns. His agent’s faithful secretary concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad's induction. Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss. Kim MacAfee of Sweet Apple, Ohio, wins the honor. It is decided that Birdie will give his “One Last Kiss” on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”
