About this show: Before the Beatles, there was Buddy Holly and the Crickets. It’s the 1950’s and a young man from Texas with big glasses and an even bigger dream is catapulting to the top of the Rock and Roll charts. With classic songs like “Peggy Sue,” and “That’ll Be the Day,” along with “La Bamba,” this high octane musical is a celebration of a man whose music and values were ahead of his time.
