It's had audiences on their feet in every corner of the globe and now Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story is back and ready to explode in a brand new production of this toe-tapping, hand-clapping live music extravaganza! 50 years on, rave on at the Playhouse Theatre, QPAC for a strictly limited 6 week season, opening Thursday 30 April 2009.
With a multi-talented cast, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story, tells his story, presents his music and features two terrific hours of his greatest hits including That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, I'm Looking For Someone To Love, Rave On, Heartbeat, Maybe Baby, Everyday - songs that inspired the Beatles and helped trigger the whole 60's revolution; songs that despite their countless cover versions and enduring airplay have never lost their magic.
With the Big Bopper's Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens' La Bamba taking you towards total music overload, this dazzling new production will have the whole audience rocking and bopping in the aisles.
Star of the show will be Scott Cameron as Buddy Holly, a dynamic young man who performs with the same brilliant musical and vocal qualities that made Buddy Holly a household name. Scott first played the guitar at age 5. His career has skyrocketed since that time with him touring and featured alongside Tommy & Phil Emmanuel, the Late Slim Dusty, Lee Kernaghan, John Williamson, Gina Jefferies & Brian Cadd. Filling the big shoes of The Big Bopper will be Luke Tonkin, with Jonathan Whitlow as Ritchie Valens, and Laura Bunting as Maria Elena Holly.
