If you want to go see Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway, you’d better hurry up — cos after the savaging it got from New York’s theatre press today, it ‘aint gonna be running for long.

The best rating it got was 1.5/5 from the Post, who called stars John Stamos “frozen” and Gina Gershon “at sea”.

The New York Daily News called them “robotic”

But we’ll leave the last word to the New York Times’ Ben Brantley: 

“Theatergoers may feel an empathetic urge to rush home and bury their heads in their pillows.”

Ouch
