A multi-talented cast tell Buddy Holly’s story, from his Texas rockabilly beginnings to international stardom and his legendary final performance before his tragic death at just 22.
It features two terrific hours of songs, including La Bamba, Raining In My Heart, That’ll Be The Day, Oh Boy, Johnny B. Goode, Everyday, Shout and more.
Chris Weeks, who plays Buddy, said: "I saw the show when I was seven and thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I listened to the soundtrack obsessively growing up and knew the songs inside out, but I always thought I’d just remain a fan. Even when I became an actor, I never dared to dream!"
