Look. Bye-Bye Birdie is still one of the most popular musicals ever written. Debuted on Broadway in April, 1960. It has almost no plot or dialogue but the music is inspired and way entertaining. Not so for the rest. Most Broadway was always crap. Being seen at a Braodway show was a way to show you were hip, rich, and politically correct. Now, Broadway is like a saggy old hooker still trying to charge prime rates.

Did you know that Lee Adams and Charles Strouse, who wrote the music and lyrics for Birdie (and Applause, among others) also wrote the theme song for "All In the Family"?

You want to talk about no plot? Try Company or Cats. But they were successful.
