Buddy- The Buddy Holly Story

Written by Alan Janes & Rob Bettinson

August 8-23

 

If you love Rock “N Roll, you’ll love this show!

Before the Beatles, before Elvis, there was Buddy Holly.

 

Buddy– The Buddy Holly Story tells the story of Buddy Holly’s brief life and meteoric rise to fame and rock ‘n roll stardom in the three years in which he became the world’s top recording artist. In an electrifying musical celebration, two of Holly’s unforgettable performances are recreated: the Crickets’ appearance at the Apollo Theatre and his final concert with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. This show 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”. This dynamic show is a celebration of the man, his music and life that encompasses a unique mixture of innocence, determination, humor and charms that was Buddy Holly.

 

Directed by Scarlett Turney this show features singer/songwriter Ian Hunt as Buddy Holly. Ian has appeared on the MTSU stage in “Take Me Out” and his own original production of “The Rhythm in You”. This show also features Chris Eisenhour, Graeme Morris & Brad Poe as the Crickets, Oscar Zezatti as Ritchie Valens, Quintin Parnell as the Big Bopper, and Heather Moulder as Maria Elena Santiago.
