Buddy Holly – A Legend Reborn

Relive the Rockin’ 50s music scene

  • Show Information

This event has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. If you’ve already booked tickets, our Box Office will be in touch with you directly.

Through 1957 to ‘59 one man changed the face of music and revolutionised the meaning of Rock ‘N’ Roll. That man was Buddy Holly.

Clutching a Fender Stratocaster, sporting a pair of heavy-rimmed glasses, and sounding exactly like Buddy in his heyday, a legend is reborn.

This all new production celebrates an artist who shot straight into the limelight as soon as That’ll Be The Day hit the radio. Though his career was short, this one-man powerhouse gave the world a stack of hits that will never be forgotten.

Join Buddy Holly – A Legend Reborn to relive the Rockin’ fifties music scene with hits such as Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, Heartbeat, It Doesn’t Matter Anymore, Words of Love, It’s So Easy, Rave On and many more.
