Movie Reviews: Musicals: ***Bye Bye Birdie (1995)


Bye Bye Birdie (1995) this is not the original version, but a newer made for t.v. version of the Tony award winning musical.  My only response is that I missed Dick Van Dyck.  Jason Alexander stars as Albert and Vanessa Williams as Rosie.  Williams plays the bar scene too hot and steamy for me.  However Marc Kudisch was excellent as Conrad Birdie.  Tyne Daly does excellent as the over protective mother, who refuses to let her son go, destroying her son's happiness, and her own as well.  Vanessa Williams has a beautiful voice, but her dancing was too risque for my tastes.
