| How could it be brought up to date? We no longer have the draft (the event that puts the whole story in motion), we're not in a war, and although there's always a "generation gap," the mores are very different now than in the 50's. (Let alone the whole concept of a random young high school girl being kissed by a hunky rock star on national TV would play very very differently now.) I think it works best left in its time period, otherwise it just wouldn't be Bye Bye Birdie anymore. |
