wonderful compliment to the cast during Buddy's stint at the Apollo Theatre. The rest of the ensemble are talented showmen also, especially since most of them play instruments as well as sing. A much enjoyed highlight comes near the show's end, when Richie Valens, played effectively by Nick Anselmo, breaks into "La Bamba."
The musical does have some flaws, primarily found in the sluggish and awkward drama between Buddy's songs. The acting is not what it could be, but this is often the case in a musical revue, where the players are performers rather than actors. The show's finest moments are in its concertlike settings, with Buddy tearing out hit after hit after hit. And, it is a relief to report that Buddy does not dwell upon the plane crash that so shockingly ended Holly's life. While it is mentioned a few times and somewhat incorporated into a scene, Buddy is truly a celebration of Buddy Holly and not a sob story.
