Music reviews of Bye Bye Birdie
Music Review: Vanessa Williams soars with bouncy "Birdie" score
Rating: 4 Stars
BYE BYE BIRDIE was dusted off for a television version in 1995, featuring a cast made up of Broadway veterans and newcomers alike. The soundtrack album is a bouncy and enjoyable delight.
Vanessa Williams takes on her second Chita Rivera-originated role, as beleagured secretary Rose Alvarez. Jason Alexander ("The Rink", "Jerome Robbins' Broadway") returns to his musical theatre roots as Albert Peterson. The rest of the cast is sensational: Marc Kudisch (reprising his national tour role) as Conrad Birdie; Tyne Daly ("Gypsy", "Call Me Madam") as Mae Peterson; George Wendt as Mr MacAfee, and Sally Mayes ("She Loves Me") as Mrs MacAfee. The only shortcoming is the sorely-miscast Chynna Phillips, who hardly convinces in the role of pert teenager Kim MacAfee (she really only pulls off pert). Ann-Margret she ain't.
Several new songs were added for this TV version, including "Let's Settle Down", a charming ballad for Rosie; and "A Mother Doesn't Matter Anymore", a great character-turn for Tyne Daly as the grasping Mae. The other numbers, including the classics "An English Teacher", "A Lot of Livin' to Do" and "Kids" are all performed to perfection. And yes, Vanessa Williams even performs "Spanish Rose", with some slight lyric alterations.
A must-own for BIRDIE fans.
