‘Cheeky humour and romance, innocence and defiance play their part, as Weeks’s Holly leads the show in all-action style, his singing and guitar playing top notch, while Joe Butcher’s constantly on the move stand-up bass player Joe B Mauldin and Haberfield’s drumming delight too.
Through the second half, the love-at-first-sight story of Buddy and record company receptionist Maria Elena (Daniella Agredo Piper), with her premonitions of Buddy’s fate, tugs at the heart strings like a Buddy Holly ballad.
Then, the fateful last night of a badly organised tour at the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, as Christopher Chandler’s Big Bopper and Miguel Angel’s hip-swivelling Ritchie Valens share the spotlight with Weeks’s inexhaustible Holly’
Thanks to @Charleshutchpr1 for the kind words!
@mrdavidrowe Wonderful thread, I’d never seen these gorgeous artworks. Love this adaptation and re listen yearly - Ian Holm is always the standout for me and I look at his Bilbo differently as a result!

I’m playing a gig with my trio at the legendary Crazy Coqs in Soho on Monday 27th November!
Sit back with the perfect cocktail and enjoy an evening of awesome vintage tunes - jazz, blues, rock and roll and country.
Grab a ticket and come on down!

@philhaigh_ I think you can tell Judd’s confidence from his facial expression on the shot…for the last couple of years he’s looked afraid of the balls, but when he’s feeling good he looks almost cocky, which is how he’s starting to look!
Great chatting to @chrislweeks who plays Buddy Holly in @BuddyTheMusical which is coming to @New_Theatre this September. It’s a great show which we highly recommend.
Listen to our chat with Chris here..

Chris's role helps Buddy Holly story not fade away! It's @EdenCourt this week and @chrislweeks talks about why he loves to take to the stage in Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story and sing as 'this quiet revolutionary who changed the world'. https://t.co/wzs8jncjGa @BuddyTheMusical
