CELEBRATING ITS SILVER ANNIVERSARY YEAR
BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY
Oh Boy!
BUDDY –THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY celebrates a hip shaking 25 years on stage when
it swings into Wolverhampton Grand Theatre from
Monday 19 – Saturday 24 May.
The most successful rock n’ roll show of all time
BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY inspired a generation of multi-million selling juke-box musicals but remains the true original and a musical phenomenon.
Loved by critics and audiences alike,
BUDDY - THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY tells the enduring tale of
the musical icon’s meteoric rise to fame and his final legendary
performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic
and untimely death at the age of 22. In 18 short
months the Texas-born boy revolutionised the face of contemporary music
influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen.
Boasting
a phenomenally multi-talented cast, together they present two terrific
hours of music with over 20 of his greatest hits, including the timeless
classics
That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On.
With the Big Bopper’s
Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba completing a stellar musical line-up,
BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY is a not to be missed evening of family entertainment
Buddy’s
widow, Maria Elena Holly, says of the show’s latest milestone: “When we
opened the show we never imagined Buddy’s music and story would still
be rocking stages
and entertaining audiences around the world week-in week-out 25 years
later. I believe this is testament to a great show – the first of its
kind – and to the enduring appeal of Buddy Holly and what he represents;
a youthful energy, huge talent and creativity,
combined with a determination to make a lasting impression in this
world. Buddy was certainly a one-off, as the show demonstrates. It’s
incredible to witness subsequent generations getting carried away in
Buddy’s music - proof that his spirit lives on through
all of us.
“Buddy
is one of those shows that an audience trusts; and once someone has
bought their ticket they know they are in for a fantastic night out.”
