412.0. "BYE BYE BIRDIE" by PCBUOA::CHENARD () Mon Dec 04 1995 13:10

    Did anyone catch the "Bye Bye Birdie" special
    last night.  Since there was so much changed
    from the 1960's movie, I was wondering if
    it was more like the stage production.
    
    I personally didn't like this version.  The
    stand outs were Vanessa Williams and Jason
    Alexander but other than that I wasn't
    too impressed.  The basic storyline was
    there but everything else was changed plus
    adding a few new songs. 
    
    I thought person playing Conrad Birdie was
    a dud along with the actor playing Hugo.
    George Wendt was terrible (I miss Paul
    Lynde doing the part) never mind Chyna
    Phillips (sp?).
    
    All in all, I wished I had watched
    "The Player" on TNT.

    I did not see it but too bad the actor playing Conrad was 
    bad...He is absolutely fantastic in the Broadway production
    of Beauty and the Beast..He is Gaston...It was the only
    reason I might have put it on..
