The West End and Broadway smash-hit musical Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story is coming to the
Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from 13th-17th June.
Loved by critics and audiences alike, Buddy tells the enduring story of the musical icon’s meteoric rise from
his Southern rockabilly beginnings to international stardom and his legendary final performance at the Surf
Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of just 22. In 18 short months
the bespectacled boy from Lubbock, Texas, revolutionised the face of contemporary music, and would
influence everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones.
Boasting a multi-talented cast of actor-musicians, Buddy presents 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, Everyday and
Rave On. With the Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba, and rip-roaring versions of
Shout and Johnny B. Goode completing a stellar musical line-up, Buddy is a not to be missed evening of
family entertainment.
Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story has enjoyed phenomenal success, having played a record-breaking 4668
performances over 580 weeks on tour in the UK and Ireland, as well as 5822 performances over 728 weeks
in London’s West End. Buddy is one of a small number of iconic musicals including Les Misérables,
Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Miss Saigon, Evita and Cats to
reach a spectacular three decades on stage.
