Fountain Hills Theater is proud to announce auditions for Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story

Before The Beatles and The Stones, there was Buddy! Three years was all it took for Buddy Holly to change rock music forever, achieving seven Top 40 songs between 1957 and 1958 in the golden days of rock 'n' roll. Now the hit musical Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story charts the musician's life from his Texas upbringing to his meteoric rise with The Crickets and his tragic early death -- all set to a soundtrack of some of rock 'n' roll's biggest hits. One of the first "jukebox musicals," the show features "That'll Be the Day," "Not Fade Away," "Peggy Sue" and "Oh, Boy!" among other timeless Holly tunes.
