The Buddy Holly Story
Written by Alan Janes
July 11 - July 27, 2025
Before the “Million Dollar Quartet” got together to make music history, one man was emerging as the face of rock ‘n’ roll, and his name was Buddy. Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story explores the life and music of one of rock 'n' roll's pioneers, from his humble beginnings in Lubbock, Texas, to his meteoric rise to fame. With hits like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day," this musical captures the essence of Buddy's unique sound and enduring legacy, and will leave you toe-tapping and hand-clapping all the way home!
Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story has a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes with one intermission and is rated PG for mild adult themes.
