4.0 out of 5 stars If You're a Fanatic and Really Love Conrad..., August 30, 2008

By	tvtv3 "tvtv3" (Sorento, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Loosely inspired by both Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty, BYE BYE BIRDIE is a musical that follows Albert Peterson, manager of famed rock and roll singer Conrad Birdie, just before Conrad has to leave the music business because of being drafted into the Army. The musical was a moderate success upon its initial run, but became ingrained into American cultural after a film version was made starring Ann Margaret and Dick Van Dyke. The show is a favorite for many high schools and community theatres. The show includes the songs "Ed Sullivan" and "Kids". This version of the musical arrangement includes pictures and bios from various productions as well as a synopsis. If you're a fan of the show, this is probably the arrangement you want to own. If you're just looking for the music, this edition is probably overkill and you would be better sticking with the straight complete vocal arrangement.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK if you want music and lyrics, March 4, 2009

By	John R. Yanusz (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a little disappointed in this book because it consisted almost entirely of sheet music for the musical. There were a few pages of photos from various productions but no cast lists, venues or other historical information. A good book if you're only interested in the words and music otherwise, skip it.
