SYNOPSIS

This highly acclaimed and well known musical is a biography of Buddy Holly, from his struggling teenage days in Texas, where his brand of rock 'n' roll didn't sit well with the country music lovers of the area, to his climb to national success, to his tragic death in a plane crash. The show ends with the last concert that he performed.
