'Birdie' gets a home in the Henry Miller's Theatre

NEW YORK (AP) — The first Broadway revival of "Bye Bye Birdie" has found a home.

The Roundabout Theatre Company says it will open the musical Oct. 15 at the new Henry Miller's Theatre, constructed behind the restored neo-Georgian facade of the original theater, which was built in 1918.

The new 1,055-seat theater is located on West 43rd Street in the new Bank of America Tower near Times Square.

"Birdie," first seen on Broadway in 1960, will star John Stamos, Gina Gershon and Bill Irwin. Preview performances begin Sept. 10 for a run through Jan. 10, 2010.
