The mega-smash Rock & Roll musical – The Buddy Holly Story, will be playing at the Wyvern Theatre from Mon 3 – Tue 4 Nov 2025.
Buddy – the original ‘jukebox’ musical – has enjoyed phenomenal success, playing a record-breaking 4,900 performances over 614 weeks on tour in the UK and Ireland, as well as 5,822 performances over 728 weeks in London’s West End.
Featuring a multi-talented cast of actor-musicians, Buddy presents two terrific hours of music with over 20 of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits, including such timeless classics as 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, rip-roaring versions of Shout and Johnny B. Goode, along with a couple of new additions to the show completing a stellar musical line-up, Buddy is a not-to-be-missed evening of family-friendly entertainment.
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, culminating in his legendary final performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death on February 3rd, 1959 at the age of just 22. This became known as ‘the Day the Music Died’ as Don McLean called it in his song American Pie.
Writer/Executive Producer Alan Janes said: “It really is incredible, over 35 years since we first opened, the show is back still spreading joy to every corner of the country.
“This is testament to a wonderful, extremely talented cast and some of the finest Rock & Roll tunes ever written by the one and only Buddy Holly.”
