The performers were wonderful, extremely talented in singing, showing characteristics of original performers and overall performance. Too bad it was so loud, was difficult to completely enjoy. We moved from prime close seating to way back balcony seats hoping that would lessen the discomfort but it didn’t.
Spent $160 for a pair of pre-public sale/wonderful seats. Later saw major ticket discounts (up to $15 pp) being offered to the public. Frustrating. The show was adequate, but was a small production with a small turnout.
Great show if ypu like to rock and roll, like at a concert. By the end we were all standing, clapping, singing, and dancing. Super fun show, but sad because you know how in real life it was all cut short. Definitely a misty eyed moment, but then they bring you back into the groove and you are smiling for what those boys created with such a short lives.
Well done explained the rise and fall of his stardom in good accurate detail. Loved the music. The last half was really rocking it.
This past Saturday I took my son who has a disability loves music. The show was awesome and the music was very good. The characters did a great job. I would recommend this show to anybody
We truly enjoyed the show. Since I was only 4 when he died, it gave a sense of reality to him.
Was a great show!! Front row seats also make a difference at any show because NO venue gives people enough room to get up without stepping on everyone on the way out. Another suggest is always the tall person sitting in front of you.Make theaters at an angle of degree where it doesn't obscure the person in front of you!!
My initial thoughts focused on the minimalistic set…. Then the show started. “Buddy” was perfect. Physically, vocally, musicianship and acting ability were all perfect. This actor made me believe I was in 1956-1958 and that he was indeed Buddy. The rest of the cast complemented him well. I highly recommend the show and always recommend ghe Binghamton Forum. Rave On.
Clearly, there was a problem with the sound. I don't know if it was the Theater, or what the group brought with them. The musical was shut down and there was an attempt to fix the sound which I appreciated. It did help a lot so your eardrums could handle the songs. I didn't feel that the main singers were very strong in their roles. A lot of time was spent making Buddy out to be a bit of a doofus. This got better toward the end. I think he was anything, but that. He was a risk-taker, stuck to his beliefs, and did not let money influence his decisions. The band was excellent. It was great to hear the music.
The script was too simplistic, not very creative. The music was good. The acting was mediocre. The sound system was horrific! We were so bored we left at the intermission. Worse musical/ drama we have ever attended.
Great performances by the group. Looked for the orchestra in the pit. all music performed on stage. LOVED IT!!!! A rocker from the 60s!!
Actor who played Buddy was excellent. That was the only plus.
We found the play to be slow paced and not very entertaining. Just about everytime they started to sing a song, they faded out to be able to move some props around. We left at intermission. The actors did have nice singing voices though.
As you know sound system not working properly Either too loud or not able to hear
Well the music was great. The acting was fair. The set left a lot to be desired. The show started 10 minutes late. There was a shut down of 10 minutes due to technical difficulties. It was not worth the price our seats. The REV ( formerly MGR) in Auburn, NY did Buddy Holly & it was much much better & 1/4th of the price.
For the first thirty minutes, there were problems with the mics. Curtains open when they should have been closed. Lights shined on the wrong actor. Music and actors were really good!
Buddy actor was very good. Story was interesting but the problems with the mics in the beginning was not good! They stopped the show, fixed the mic on Buddy started the show then another actor had a problem with her mic. Not good...
The musical was a fantastic even though we were in the last seat in the balcony! However we were able to stand up and dance somewhat without blocking someone view! The musicians were amazing singers!!! I do wish you could open the doors like at 2:15 instead of 2:30, as a majority of the patrons were Senior Citizens. We stood in the lobby all crunched together waiting for the two doors to open! Then we climbed the steps to the balcony, walked down the aisle, to have to then climb another set of stairs to our seat. Maybe let the balcony seats go first , then the lower area to avoid confusion. We still have covid to think about and we wore our masks. Thank you!,
My husband and I both thought the show was fantastic! Acting, singing, musicians, set! A very talented cast.
Went to the show at the Scranton Cultural Center. Show was good, music was good and actors were good. Enjoyed the show except the sound was very, very poor. Went with three friends and all of us complained about the sound. Could barely understand what the actors were saying as it sounded garbled. I have gone to many shows at this venue but none had such poor sound quality as this one.
