Writer and Producer Alan Janes said: “We can’t wait to get back on the road for this special 30th anniversary UK tour of Buddy, with a new cast of talented actors and musicians, who will be aiming to give audiences an unforgettable night at the theatre.”

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story tells the tale of the musical icon’s meteoric rise to fame through to 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 bespectacled young man from Lubbock, Texas, revolutionised the face of popular music, influencing everyone from Bob Dylan and The Beatles to Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. Audiences will be taken on a journey through Buddy’s short yet spectacular career, and 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 family entertainment.
