      Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story

      In late 50's America, the rock'n roll recording industry was in its infancy, 'teenagers' were a new phenomenon, and a new breed of DJs and musicians were turning the music world upside down!

      Many White churches felt threatened by the new 'Black-sound' of rhythm'n blues, when a small-town but charismatic, cocky kid called Buddy defied racial boundaries to create his own style. He was one of those key personalities who defined the era, with hit after hit until his untimely death at age 22, in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper.

      Experience this unforgettable musical with some of the greatest hits of 50s rock n roll!
