Jeff Murray, playing the role of Albert Peterson, and Paulette Lippert, playing Rose
Alvarez, rehearse a scene from Bye Bye Birdie, a broadway musical, presented by the
F.E. Madill Drama Club on May 8, 9 and 10. [Alan Rivett photo]
Bye Bye Birdie glimpse of 50's
By Alan Rivett
Remember Fabian? Remember Bobby
Darren? Remember when Elvis was
drafted into the army? Then you'll be sure
to remember Conrad Birdie, the mythical
rock star in Bye, Bye Birdie, a Broadway
play which re -captures the teen idol mania
of the 50's.
All the teenage hijinx and good old rock
and roll nostalgia were brought to the
Wingham stage by the F.E. Madill Drama
Club at the school on May 8, 9 and 10 with
a near capacity crowd attending the
opening performance on Thursday even-
ing.
Director Thomas Bailey, a veteran of
four directing jobs in the high school
productions who's also involved with the
Blyth Festival, said the drama club origin-
ally sent away for the scripts for two
Broadway plays, L'il Abner and My Fair
Lady, before settling on Bye Bye Birdie for
their spring production.
Play for teenagers
"Bye, Bye Birdie had good music, good
comedy and it was a good play for
teenagers to do," said Bailey, a Grade -13
student at the school.
He added the play was also good from an
acting standpoint with almost everyone in
the drama club receiving a role, with "a lot
of people playing three or four roles," he
said.
Bye, Bye Birdie, which was also made
into a movie in the early 60's starring the
original Broadway cast, was well adapted
by the drama club, except for some of the
sets called for in the original were "a bit
much" for this particular production, he
said. Mr. Laidlaw, a teacher at the school,
was in charge of the set design with many
members of the club assisting with the
building. and painting of the elaborate sets.
Bailey said the play was chosen last fall
with the actual assigning of parts and
rehearsals beginning in February. "We've
had some slow starts but the last two weeks
have been full steam ahead," he said.
Birdie Drafted
The play opens with Albert Peterson
(played by Jeff,,Murray), the manager for
the much -loved Conrad Birdie, telling
secretary and Peterson's "love interest"
•
Rose Alvarez (played by Paulette Lippert)
of a nightmarish situation which doesn't
bade well for his management business.
You see, Birdie had just been drafted into
the army, which may put his super -star
status in jeopardy thus putting Peterson
out of music business. He also owes
$50,000, which doesn't help matters either.
One of the most hilarious, albeit
unplanned, incidents happened at this
point in the play, Albert Peterson, who had
been given aspirins for a splitting head-
ache by Miss Alvarez, found the aspirins
escaping from his mouth through the
course of the dialogue. It provoked a good
belly laugh from the audience and from
the actors as well. However, both actors
shrugged it off .quite well.
To aid her beloved boss, Mr. Peterson,
out of his financial status, Miss Alvarez
suggests an ingenious plan which would
not only keep,Birdie played by Dean Golley
at the top of the heap, but woulll put
Peterson back on financial feet. But, only if ,
he agrees to give up the music business
and go back to university to be a teacher.
Ali he has to do is write a song called
One Last Kiss and, before Birdie leaves for
the army, he'll give that "one last kiss" to
Kim MacAfee (played by Karla King), a
girl from a small town in Ohio who also
happens to be, the president of the Conrad
Birdie Fan Club. The hype and hysteria
from the event would create new legions of
Birdie fans, and give Peterson the extra
