| | New York Daily News - Entertainment - Howard Kissel: Watch the 'Birdie' at Encores! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | But when I overheard a woman explaining to her granddaughter who Elvis Presley was, I realized the 1960 "Birdie" is just as much a period piece as "No, No, Nanette" was in its 1971 revival. |
 | | Inspired by Elvis' being drafted, the show follows rock star Conrad Birdie as he goes to Ohio to introduce his new song, "One Last Kiss," by kissing a fan just before reporting for military duty. |
 | | Birdie is managed by would-be teacher Albert, Albert's longtime girlfriend, Rose DeLeon, and his doting, suffocating mother, Mae. |
