Bye Bye Birdie is a quintessential Broadway musical created by Charles Strouse (music), Lee Adams (lyrics), and Michael Stewart (book). The show opened on April 14, 1960 at the Martin Beck Theatre and enjoyed an enduring run of 607 performances, earning the 1961 Tony Award for Best Musical along with multiple other Tonys for direction and choreography. The 1963 film adaptation, directed by George Sidney and featuring Janet Leigh, Dick Van Dyke, and Ann-Margret, helped propel the musical’s timeless songs into popular culture. The score includes beloved tunes such as Put On A Happy Face and A Lot Of Livin’ To Do, which have since become standards covered by many artists.
