Hello - If you have not yet found phones for BYE BYE BIRDIE, I may have your solution. I am at a private school just an hour outside of NYC and we did the show last year. I purchased mine from an electronics store. They are actually meant to plug into cell phones in place of speakers or ear buds, but they look like old fashioned handsets. We have about 30 of them and they are bright pink, lime green, sky blue, vivid orange, etc. Our kids tucked the plug end of the cord into belts and waistbands and they could move and dance without having to ever put the phones down. It looked great. We rented them this year to a high school down the street from us and they just returned them this morning - which made me recall your post. So, if you are still looking, let me know and maybe we can figure something out.

Subject: Telephones for Bye Bye Birdie
We need lots of telephones for our upcoming production of Bye Bye Birdie. Does anyone have a whole bunch they can loan or sell or rent to us? Really we are mostly in need of the receivers only, so we'd have to disconnect the receiver from the phone for the production OR we are happy to accept receivers only! Prefer lots of colors but will take anything at this point!
Many thanks!
