The story of Buddy Holly on stage at Emperors

South African superstar Brendan Peyper (21) is to play the role of Buddy in the brand-new musical, Buddy – the Buddy Holly Story, written by West End author Alan James, which is to be presented at Emperors Palace’s Theatre of Marcellus from May 15 to June 10.

Bookings are open and can be made through Computicket.

Buddy Holly was only 23 when he was killed in a plane accident. In his brief life, he wrote more hits than many other singers. One only has to think of songs like Peggy Sue, That’ll be the day, Oh Boy, Maybe Baby, True Love Ways, Heartbeat and many others.
