It's Back - Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story

Buddy the Musical has had audiences on their feet in every corner of the globe and now Buddy the Musical - hailed as "the world's most successful Rock'n'Roll musical" is back and ready to explode on to the stage of The Duchess Theatre in London in a toe-tapping, hand-clapping extravaganza!

"If you haven't seen the brilliant musical Buddy yet, buy your tickets now!" The Sun

Buddy the Musical follows the tragically short life of Buddy Holly from his first recording contract through to his move to New York and concludes with his fatal tour of Midwest America with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper when - on 3 February 1959 he was tragically killed aged just 22. The musical shows Buddy as he sings his way from the recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee to Harlem's Apollo Theatre, culminating in a live rock'n'roll extravaganza at the 'Winter Dance Party' finale and features some of Buddy Holly's greatest hits including That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, Rave On, Heartbeat, Raining In My Heart and many more.
