Northwestern School Musical
Northwestern High School is coming back to the arts scene with the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 musical, Music man, was shut down on opening night and only performed for parents. There was no musical performed in 2021.
The district was given a donation from the Class of NW 1965 Arts and Humanities Endowment Fund for costumes and sets. Only 10 of the 40 cast members have ever performed in a musical previously.
Bye Bye Birdie is an American musical about fictional pop sensation Conrad Birdie and his final performance before being drafted to the army. He promises a song and a kiss to a typical American teenager on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Performances will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Northwestern High School. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for students and $10 for priority seating. They can be purchased at the door or online at nwlschools.org/page/event-box-office-tickets.
