Music and Lyrics by Buddy Holly
Book by Alan Janes
“I love you, Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true.”
Northwest premiere! This smash hit musical charts the meteoric rise of the legendary Buddy Holly, from his country roots in Lubbock, Texas, to his groundbreaking debut at Harlem's Apollo Theatre and, finally, to the fateful concert with Ritchie Valens ("La Bamba") and the Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace") in Clear Lake, Iowa. With over 20 sensational hits - including "Peggy Sue," "That'll Be The Day," and "Maybe Baby," Buddy proves the music never died. Packed with raw energy and an infectious beat, this rollicking tribute to one of the giants of popular music is sheer unadulterated fun. No wonder Buddy is called the "World's Most Successful Rock 'n' Roll Musical!"
Pure exhilaration...a faithful, rapturous tribute to a rock pioneer who fully deserves the acclaim."
