Bye Bye Birdie is a satire that takes place in 1958. It centers around an Elvis-Presley-type rock and roll superstar, Conrad Birdie, who is planned to go into the army. His agent and song writer, Albert Peterson, and Albert's secretary/love interest, Rosie Alvarez, plan a farewell performance for Birdie on the "Ed Sullivan Show", which they hope will provide the publicity to sell his new song "One Last Kiss" and bring Albert's company, Almaelou, out of debt. At the conclusion of the performance, Birdie will give a real kiss to a lucky girl from his fan club, who is randomly chosen. Kim MacAfee from Sweet Apple, Ohio, and an avid member of the local Conrad Birdie fan club was the lucky fan chosen. Albert and Rosie come to Sweet Apple to prepare for Birdie's arrival and things begin to unravel. Kim's father Harry MacAfee begins to get excited about the thought of being on the Ed Sullivan Show with his daughter and Kim's new steady, Hugo Peabody, starts to get jealous of the thought of Kim kissing Birdie on national television.
