CVHS Drama, Music Departments Present: 'Bye Bye Birdie'

Come see over 100 of Castro Valley High School's finest performing artists sing and dance their hearts out  in this wildly popular satire on American society set in 1958. The story was inspired by the phenomenon of popular singer Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the Army in 1957. The rock star character's name, "Conrad Birdie," is word play on the name of Conway Twitty. Twitty is best remembered today for his long career as a country music star, but before that, in the late 1950s, he was one of Presley's rock 'n' roll rivals.

This Tony Award Musical features many famous songs including "Happy Face", "One Last Kiss", "Kids", and "English Teacher".
