Bring Back Birdie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bring Back Birdie is a musical with a book by Michael Stewart, lyrics by Lee Adams, and music by Charles Strouse.

A sequel to Bye Bye Birdie, it focuses on a scheme for rock 'n' roller Conrad Birdie, who disappeared after being discharged from the army twenty years ago, to make a comeback on a Grammy Awards broadcast.

After 31 previews, the Broadway production, conceived and directed by Joe Layton, opened on March 5, 1981 at the Martin Beck Theatre, where it ran for only four performances. The cast included Donald O'Connor, Chita Rivera, Maurice Hines, and Maria Karnilova. Rivera was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and a Drama Desk Award as Outstanding Actress in a Musical.

An original cast album was released on the Varese Sarabande label.
