Well IMDB is saying it also. But that isn't a very reliable source either.

Posted: 5/9/09 at 11:29amI got an e-mail a few months back from...I think Round House or one of the many news letters I subscribe too, that said a revival of Bye Bye Birdie will indeed be opening. Don't remember the exact date but I do recall Jon Stamos mentioned to be starring in it and it made me very excited! Ha. I'll see if I still have the e-mail to find the info.

I'd heard that a new movie was being considered.
The revival starts September 09.

Its the Roundabout Theatre Company -- not Round House or something. 
The 2009 Broadway revival of BYE BYE BIRDIE begins previews at Henry Miller's Theatre on Broadway on September 10, 2009. The revival stars John Stamos, Gina Gershon, Bill Irwin and Jayne Houdyshell.

Posted: 5/9/09 at 2:21pmI think I remember hearing about this as well. It probably is just in the talking stage right now. That doesn't mean it will or will not happen. And this happens all the time with movies.

Posted: 5/9/09 at 2:40pmI remember reading initial articles about them updating the story to a contemporary setting (I dunno how that would've worked). So far no one has said anything else, it's prolly on the backburner until Hairspray 2 gets up and moving.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
