The smaller space at American Blue’s Theatres Stage 773 location makes us feel like we are actually at a concert. The show works best when the setting allows for the actors to acknowledge and include the audience. The nostalgia of the music plus the intimate feel of the space made for a truly fun. The energy from the audience was palpable as most people were dancing in their seats and singing along.
The end comes, as we all know it will, with the infamous plane crash that takes the lives of Holly, Valens, the Big Bopper and the pilot. Rather than focusing on the inevitable tragedy, this show more prominently features Holly’s life and art. It will leave you feeling uplifted and, most likely, singing.
The show is perfect for lovers of early rock and roll.
