The Buddy Holly Story

Musical Theater West presents The Buddy Holly Story as part of its 2025 season, The Season of Legends, celebrating the rise of two music legends, beloved fairytale legends, and one legendary matchmaker!

Before the “Million Dollar Quartet” got together to make music history, one man was emerging as the face of rock ‘n’ roll, and his name was Buddy. Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story explores the life and music of one of rock 'n' roll's pioneers, from his humble beginnings in Lubbock, Texas, to his meteoric rise to fame. With hits like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day," this musical captures the essence of Buddy's unique sound and enduring legacy, and will leave you toe-tapping and hand-clapping all the way home!

Performances will be held at The Carpenter Performing Arts Center. For showtimes and more information, visit musical.org or call (562) 856-1999.
