    by herOma on 6/7/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The actors & the musicians were excellent. The play brought back many memories for me, especially of listening to great rock-and-roll & dancing to it.

    My Most Favorite Show

    by Sherrob on 6/7/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The best show ever. Will go see it again. Saw it for the first time 12 years ago. Better than Jersey Boys.

    "The Buddy Holly Story" was outstanding. My wife and I see shows in NYC twice a year, and this show was as good as anything in the theater district in Manhattan. I compare it in quality to "The Jersey Boys" and "The Million Dollar Quartet" in NYC

    Buddy Holly Story a Smash

    by NancyMcKB on 5/31/12Walnut Street Theater - Philadelphia

    I saw this at the Walnut Theater on Sunday and I LOVED it! Great story and of course, great music! I've never been a part of an audience that was so enthusiastic (dancing in the aisles, jumping to their feet, sustained clapping after the curtain closed)! The entire cast was outstanding; Christopher Sutton entranced me with his portrayal of Buddy. Will another cast's production stand up to this one? Can't wait to find out!!
