Title: WHERE IS DICK VAN DYKE & CHITA RIVERA?
Review: Bye Bye Birdie is not Bye Bye Birdie without Dick Van Dyke and Chita Rivera. This TV production was like a high school production. Jason Alexander can't sing, can't dance and his hair piece kept falling all over the place. Conrad looked like an old man, and Venassa Williams, though she sings pleasantly, was ok. The girl who played Kim was terrible. Though this TV production followed the original broadway show and had all the songs from the origianl show, plus they added 2 songs which didn't measure up the to rest of the score, the singing is bland and poor in some cases. As for the movie cd. Though not as good as the original broadway cast album because they dropped some of the good songs, it did have a lot of spirit, and who doesn't love Ann Marget. Music wise, talent wise, you can't beat the original cast album and the cd is just grand. I never get tired of listening to it.
