Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story

Covering the period of Holly's ascent to stardom (January 1956 to February 1959), the production is at its best when re-creating Holly's boyish enthusiasm and magnetism as a concert performer, but bogs down in its overly long attempt to faithfully re-create the singer's recording studio tribulations as he slowly evolves as an artist.

This bio musical sojourn through the tragically short life and career of rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Buddy Holly (Van Zeiler) premieres in Los Angeles exactly 41 years after the night Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper appeared at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, the final concert for these three artists who would board a plane that would never reach its final destination.
