Why see The Buddy Holly Story?
An artist at the height of the golden era of rock 'n' roll
The Buddy Holly Story is a lively delight that delves into the life and the music of Buddy Holly, a rock 'n' roll pioneer who made monumental moves in music during his short 22 years of life. This rocking musical showcases the star's dazzling and fascinating life in music to the sounds of songs including 'Peggy Sue,' 'Oh Boy,' and 'Maybe Baby.'
Texas-born Buddy Holly was born into a musical family and picked up the guitar at an early age. The musician opened for Elvis Presley during the early stages of his career before embarking on his solo music journey. He released two solo albums as well as an album with band The Crickets before his tragic death in 1959, but the mark he made on music lives on.

The Buddy Holly Story
I absolutely loved the production. Matt McClure was fabulous as Buddy. The drummer and female piano player were incredible as was Joelle Laquerre.
All the characters were wonderful as well. It was enchanting. Thank you for bringing it to Beverly. ... Read more

Did not know who Buddy was
Staging could have been better but went along with his character.In that he was not educated it ways to project himself better. Last 10-15 min were way too loud and crazy. It had been a high energy play and was delightful but at the end it was like someone turned up the volume and made it uncomfortable. One couple got up and walked out. It was like an
attack on the ears and mind.
