Here's how Roundabout bills the American classic from 1960: "In Bye Bye Birdie, the exuberant rock 'n' roll musical comedy, it's 1960 and hip-swingin' teen idol superstar Conrad Birdie (Funk) has been drafted into the army. Birdie's manager Albert (Stamos) and his secretary Rosie (Gershon) have cooked up a plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a lucky teenage fan… on 'The Ed Sullivan Show'!"

Henry Miller's Theatre, a brand-new theatre theatre that retains the façade and the name of a historic theatre of the same location, is at 124 West 43rd Street. Bye Bye Birdie received the 1961 Tony Award for Best Musical and features such songs as "Put on a Happy Face," "Kids," "Spanish Rose," "Talk to Me," "The Telephone Hour" and "A Lot of Livin' to Do."

Bye Bye Birdie's design team includes Andrew Jackness (sets), Gregg Barnes (costumes), Ken Billington (lights), Acme Sound (sound) and David Chase (music supervisor).

Funk, a former gymnast, is heard on the hot-selling soundtrack for "Spectacular!" and has a song — "Break My Heart" — on the Billboard charts. He has made numerous guest-starring appearances on TV series including "The L Word," "Smallville," "Supernatural," "Lie to Me" and a recurring role on "Aliens in America." He most recently played an elitist prep school murderer on ABC's "Castle." He is a spokesperson for Nickelodeon's "The Big Green Help" and has publicly supported the charity organization Champions Against Bullying.

Bye Bye Birdie will play Tuesday through Saturday evening at 8 PM with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 PM.
