On the back of incredibly successful tours in
2015 in 2016, “Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story” – the show
that inspired a generation of multi-million selling juke-box musicals including:
Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia, Million Dollar Quartet, and We Will
Rock You – is coming to JAX for one performance only!
Seen by over 22 million music fans since it opened in London’s West End in
1989, Buddy speaks an
international language and continues to have audiences from 8 to 80 rockin’ in
the aisles across the globe. Loved by
critics and audiences alike, Buddy
tells the enduring tale of the musical icon’s meteoric
rise to fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear
Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22. In 18 short months the Texas-born boy
revolutionized the face of contemporary music influencing everyone from The
Beatles to Bruce Springsteen.
Boasting a phenomenally multi-talented cast, together they present two terrific
hours of music with over 20 of his greatest hits, including the timeless
classics: That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On. With the Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace
and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba completing a stellar musical line-up, Buddy is a not to be missed
evening of feel good family entertainment
Buddy’s widow, Maria Elena Holly, says of the show, “When we opened the show we never imagined Buddy’s music and story
would still be rocking stages and entertaining audiences around the world
week-in week-out over 25 years later. I believe this is testament to a great
show – the first of its kind – and to the enduring appeal of Buddy Holly and
what he represents; a youthful energy, huge talent and creativity, combined
with a determination to make a lasting impression in this world.”
Writer/Producer Alan Janes says, “Audiences
dance in the aisles every night to our enactment of the story of a young man
whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period but whose music will be
remembered forever”.
