The direction in this show is WONDERFUL! This young woman should do this professionally.

Wow!! Better than Broadway! Each one of those girls could really sing... Brilliant ....on the scale of a professional production. Wondering how many of those girls ended up pursuing musical theatre...

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

Ummm this was utter and complete genius! Everyone was so spot on. I'm so blown away!

Such a great way of incorporating the title song from the movie into the stage version!

This is brilliant for a high school production. Wonderful job!

It was better than the movie.

At first I thought this was a particularly amazing production from Stratford East (East London) but this is Stratford Playhouse, an award winning theatre company from America. It is excellent. Strong, confident voices and wonderful and imaginative staging.

Actually, Stratford Playhouse is award-winning, but it's a theatre program at a public high school in Houson, Texas

Sir, I stand corrected.

This is how you start a show! So much energy right off the bat! Love this

Fun fact- Bye Bye Birdie didn't have a theme song title until the producers demanded one for the movie adaption. It's interesting to see how subsequent theater adaptions have incorporated the add-on theme.

Absolutely genius. I think this is a perfect version of the classic opening of Bye Bye Birdie! Very new, and inspiring especially the opening sequence of channel flipping with the old TV set.

This was incredible. Great Job to all involved. The transition from video to stage was practically seamless.

I was in a play of Bye Bye Birdie last month, and we did this opening, except we didn’t do the musical number, and the girls just sang the Birdie song instead. You know, the “We Love You Conrad, Oh Yes we do”

I just finished doing it. We didn't sing the opening because of the line "you really turn me on". So unfair

Outstanding. I cannot believe these are high schoolers....I am stunned by this...

Amazing! So professional. Love every minute.

This was seriously amazing!

This song should be in every production 👍

This is so cool! Actually found out the one in the white blouse and yellow skirt is my theater teacher!!

Wonderful job. I truly enjoyed this performance.

AMAZING!! Delightful!!! Joyous. Great voices and staging. Thank you!!

The gasp after Ursula sings "You really turn me on. I'm like a savage beast" Is the funniest thing

This is beautiful!

What a great original beginning!! Great job!!

Awesome ! This would belong on Broadway !

Incredible! Great Job!

Bro this is so ridiculously good

I thought it was funny when the reporter tried to take his microphone back! 😂😂😂

Much better than Ann Margaret's version! Saw her on Mad Men & had to cover my ears! Bravo, Stratford!!

Love it, it was honestly sincere,

Who else thinks the reporter man in this scene is hilarious when he tries to snatch the microphone bank from the girls while they sing, and then he keeps getting knocked out of the way when the girls make a big gesture.

This is adorable! 😍

This is wonderful! And it was an excellent choice to ditch the annoying/whiny voices that are so often associated with the Bye Bye Birdy song

This is great!

Did the student director direct the entire thing???

goodvBD12345 no. She was helping out. Asseisent director basically

Brilliant!

This is the first I have seen the stage production opening rather that the Hollywood version.

I would like this song too. Just the one song not the whole show.

Soooo good

Great job

I think the actor playing the announcer in this scene also plays Harvey Johnson in later scenes.

is this in the actual musical or was it added? either way it’s genius

please post more west side story scenes/songs

This number is a much, much stronger opening number than "An English Teacher".

Hello, I know this was a while back, and I contacted the high school, but I was just wondering if anyone might have new information on how to find this opening number arrangement?

i refuse to believe this is a high school production

My school is doing this show but a really modified version. We aren’t even aloud to say cigarette🙄

How did you add this song to the show legally? I can’t find how to anywhere online

I think they used the CBS Bulletin card from when JFK was shot. Cool.
