    I saw this show opening weekend and can definitely say this is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. The cast has such energy and the main character portrayed Buddy to the "t". My most favorite moment was when Chris McCollum sang Richie Vallen's "La Bamba". It rocked the house!!! That kid is going to go far! Collapse

    I went to see this play over the opening weekend and was blown away by the music and acting. It has easily pushed aside so many of my favorite stage plays to rock to #1 in my book. Todd Meredith is a believable Buddy Holly and the cast is amazing! I especially enjoyed the Apollo Singer. This is one of those plays that shouts Encore! Collapse
