“What’s the Matter with Kids Today?”

Conrad Birdie (Jesse Pearson), a famous self-centered rock and roll star, is about to be drafted into the military (shades of Elvis). A plot/plan to make several people happy and rich is to have Conrad bestow “One Last Kiss” on a randomly chosen young lady from his fan club. The lucky girl is Kim McAfee (Ann-Margret), much to the consternation of her steady boyfriend. This will be done on the Ed Sullivan Show. Many other lives and fortunes revolve around this plan. Much more entertaining than the story is the interaction of the characters, and this is a musical. From play to stage, this was well done. Dick V-a-n-d-y-k-e, however, thought this was just a vehicle for Ann Margaret. I look at it as the measuring stick by which all other versions, stages, or movies are gauged. I find myself singing many of the songs.
