Bye Bye Birdie--which I've never seen--is about Elvis more or less. The superstar rocker--Conrad Birdie--gets drafted into the army. So for publicity and money he and his manager decide to have him kiss some 'lucky' girl on the Ed Sullivan show before he leaves. So he goes to a small town somewhere in America bla bla bla. It's a cute show. All the girls in town are nuts over this Birdie character and chasing him and swooning the whole time.
Jessica is sitting on the edge of the stage on the right side of the photo in a greenish blue shirt. I'm a horrible camera man--sorry! And it was hard to get good footage of Jessica. I didn't know where she'd be because I hadn't seen any rehearsals and the orchestra was in the way.
But all these kids are 7th and 8th graders. The 'Elvis' character is only 12. It cracks me up. He does a pretty good job.
Jessica is in the same place in a white shirt. When the company shifts toward the end she ends up front and center.
