We’re very excited to return in 2023 with ‘BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story’ and then, the be-bopping that’s sure to follow up and down the aisles!” “For my 10th anniversary season, I knew I just had to do this show again, which was such a runaway success in my first year ‘in charge’ of MSMT,” says Artistic Director Curt Dale Clark. Decades of wildly successful productions from around the world followed, including a record-breaking production at MSMT in 2014. Subsequent smash hit productions included a thrilling Toronto try-out which preceded a commercial run at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway. “BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story,” with a book by Alan Janes and featuring the music of Buddy Holly and others, opened at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre in 1989, where it ran for over 12 years. Experience again, or for the very first time, this electrifying musical about Buddy Holly, the iconic, 1950s rock ‘n’ roll pioneer and his fellow headliners on the Winter Dance Party Tour, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, that fateful day in February 1959: the day the music died. Now, Maine State Music Theatre presents “BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story,” which tells the story of the three years in which he became the world’s top recording artist with such hits as “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be The Day,” “Oh Boy” and more.
