I recently saw the revival of this musical on Broadway, staring John Stamos. It was spectacular! Although a current cast recording is not available the orginal recording is wonderful, because the music and lyrics are wonderful. If you have seen the movie version, you will know what I mean. If you are child of the fifties and/or sixties you will thoroughly enjoy the CD and the DVD. Both are so much fun, that you will "put on a happy face"!

The original Broadway recording is by far the best and this CD
arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I will really enjoy
listening to it often!

Hearing this again, it brought back memories of seeing an unknown Dick Van Dyke, a young Chita Rivera in her first starring role, Paul Linde, being hysterical, etc. and Gower Champion's directing/choreographing debut. It was an amazing evening of pure talent and I got to cherish it all over again purchasing the CD, which somehow eluded my collection, although I have the original cast album. After seeing the current revival, it gives so much pleasure remembering what it once was.

I got this for my granddaughters who are in their high school production of Bye, Bye Birdie. They listen on the way to and from school and have learned all the words to the songs. They love it.

This is a great soundtrack it is fun and enjoyable to listen to. The best songs on this cd are all of them.
