Swansea Grand TheatreTues 18 – Sat 22 October The world’s most successful rock & roll musical, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story, is at Swansea Grand Theatre from Tuesday 18th to Saturday 22nd October. Evening performances are at 7.30pm with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30pm. Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story tells the enduring tale of the musical icon’s meteoric rise to fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22. In eighteen short months the Texas-born boy revolutionised the face of contemporary music, influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen. The production boasts a phenomenally multi-talented cast comprising of Glen Joseph and Alex Fobbester (who alternate the role of Buddy Holly), Miguel Angel, Joe Butcher, Celia Cruwys-Finnigan, Jordan Cunningham, Josh Haberfield, Kerry Low, Thomas Mitchells, Matthew Quinn, Tom Sowinski and Alex Tosh. Together they present two terrific hours of music with over twenty of his greatest hits, including the timeless classics That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On. The Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba complete the stellar musical line-up. Buddy’s widow, Maria Elena Holly, says of the show, “When we opened the show we never imagined Buddy’s music and story would still be rocking stages and entertaining audiences around the world week-in week-out over twenty five years later. I believe this is testament to a great show – the first of its kind – and to the enduring appeal of Buddy Holly and what he represents.” Tickets for this phenomenal show are available from the Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £13.00 - £30.00* with an opening night 2 for 1 offer (terms and conditions apply) and selected concessions available on selected performances. *All tickets include a 50p Restoration Fund contribution.
