Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story

Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story

Metropolis Performing Arts Centre
111 West Campbell Street Arlington Heights

Buddy tells the true story of Buddy Holly's meteoric rise to fame from the moment in 1957 when "That'll Be the Day" hit the airwaves until his tragic death less than two years later on "The Day the Music Died." This rocking musical features several of Buddy Holly's greatest hits including "That'll Be the Day," "Peggy Sue," "Everyday," "Oh Boy," "Not Fade Away," "Raining on my Heart," and many more. Also featuring memorable hits from other stars of the era, including Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" and The Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace." The incredible but all-too-brief legacy of the young Texan with glasses, whose musical influence revolutionized the golden days of Rock & Roll, continues to live on in Buddy.
