Bye Bye Birdie

Personally I hated it so why did I give it 2 stars? Becuase my wife enjoyed it,

It is with a lamenting heart that I write that Bye Bye Birdie was the worst Broadway play that I have seen. Let me preface by saying that I am an avid theatre fan and regularly watch Broadway and Off-​Broadway shows. With that, there is a higher level of quality that I have come to expect. Unfortunately, Bye Bye Birdie did not deliver. My roommate and I went a few weeks before the show officially closed, eagerly anticipating a night of musical delight. Turns out we could have put on a show better than this one. The story line was not well-​developed, the acting was mediocre (though John Stamos and the actor who played the father shone through like beacons of light), the sets were unimpressive, the singing was weak, and the songs were forgettable. Gosh, I feel harsh. I suppose it was somewhat entertaining overall, but my roommate and I agreed that it reminded us more of a community theater production, rather than something that graces the stage of Broadway (no offense meant to community theater!)
Sadly, hottie John Stamos could not even save this show… which is probably why it’s closed! The only great thing was the fact that afterwards, John signed autographs, took pictures, and talked with every fan! He’s Uncle Jesse, for crying out loud! He could have better things to do, but he was so sweet and humble that in the end, we were pretty happy. Plus, Steph got in a little smooch which made John super bashful (haaaave mercy!).
