Facts about Birdie:The
original Birdie opened on Broadway on April 14, 1960, and was a sleeper hit, shocking everyone with its success. The story was inspired by Elvis Presley, who in 1957 became the first celebrity to be drafted into the army. "Conrad Birdie" is word play on the name of Conway Twitty, the real-life country music star and
Elvis rival originally slated to play Conrad. Twitty dropped out before the show began. Bye
Bye Birdie was originally titled Let's Go Steady.
