“On Tuesday night the latest production opened at the Casino Regina Show Lounge and while it did have some differences in staging, the musical matched the heart and joy of its predecessor.”
“Al Braatz is superb in the leading role. He looks like Holly and even better, he sounds like Holly. Only minutes into the production, patrons had no difficulty believing that he was Buddy Holly, a belief that allowed the musical to move forward rather easily.”
“The staging was big, bold and bright and easily shifted from an auditorium in Lubbock to the Apollo Theater in Harlem to Holly’s apartment in New York City.”
