    The Buddy Holly Story

    by Rockingbabe on 7/25/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Attended on Saturday 7/21 and show was due to close next day. Lots of great merchandise at low prices because of that. My friend got a hat marked down to a $1 that was previously $12. I was introduced to Holly's music by my late brother and the actor who played Buddy was spot on. The supporting actors were fantastic. The crowd was on their feet by the end of the show which included an encore. It was neat because the woman who played his wife actually WAS his wife in real life. I was able to save some money on the seating due a special WST offer as well. Always a great time at the Walnut.

    So Much Fun

    by Judson2111 on 7/24/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    We couldn't see Buddy on our subscription and gave away our tickets. The firends who took them said it was so great we had to go. So we bought tickets to the last Sunday matinee. Our friends were right. The only thing not great about the whole performance was the seats we bought were much better than our subscription seats!!!
