"Buddy" tells the compelling story of the legendary rocker Buddy Holly and the three years in which he became the world's top recording artist. The show features over 20 of his greatest hits including "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day", "Oh Boy", "Heartbeat", "Maybe Baby", "Rave On" and "Everyday," and end with the fantastic 'Winter Dance Party' at Clear Lake, Iowa, where Buddy is joined on stage by the large-than-life Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace") and pelvis thrusting Ritchie Valens ("La Bamba"). Filmed especially for DVD at the Novello Theatre in London's West End
Directed by Rob Bettinson, Buddy leans on a strong ensemble — Angus MacGregor, Guy James, Stephen Pallister — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1999.
