The Man… The Music… The Legend... The rocking, rolling story of Buddy Holly’s meteoric rise to fame as the world’s top recording artist, from the moment in 1957 when That’ll Be the Day hit the airwaves, until his tragic death less than two years later on “The Day the Music Died”. The show features over 20 of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits, including Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, Everyday, Not Fade Away, and Raining In My Heart, plus Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba and The Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace.
AUDIENCE GUIDANCE: Buddy does include flashing lights, some mild language and one sad moment, quickly alleviated by a return to music. Suitable for ages 10 and older. See audience advisories for more information.
