THEATRE + COMEDY

UpStage Theatre presents an UpStage theatrical event, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story, written by Alan Janes.  Our own TEXAS Legend, running Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, July 8 - July 30 (and Sun. Matinee, July 24), in Lambert Hall. 

On February 3rd, 1959, the man who changed the face of popular music tragically died in a plane crash aged 22. Now, Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story tells the story of the three years in which he became the world’s top recording artist with a show that features over 20 of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits including “Peggy Sue”, “That’ll Be The Day”, “Oh Boy”, “Not Fade Away”, “Everyday”, “Rave On”, “Maybe Baby”, “Raining In My Heart”, Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba”, and the Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace”.

Over 20 million people have come to see Buddy all across the globe where the magical talents of Charles Hardin ‘Buddy’ Holly have been shared live with many more people than the real Buddy Holly ever had the chance to perform to. The incredible legacy of the young man with glasses, whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period during the golden days of rock ‘n’ roll, continues to live on in Buddy.

Featuring:  Todd Greenfield, Alan Johnson, Sonia Kronberg, Amanda Slusser, Sam Sigman, Brian Chambers, Norris Thompson, B. Renda, Christina Gibson, Zoe Ann Breedlove, Stephanie Eargle, Matt Zipko, Marissa Viso, Kenneth Ellison, Kurtis von Krueger, and Stephan Krosecz as Buddy Holly.
