The current production at the Duchess Theatre is the show that toured the UK in 2006 and 2007, and once again takes to the road after a successful eighteen month reprise in the West End.
This tour will commemorate 50 years since the deaths of Buddy Holly and fellow musicians Ritchie Valens and JP ‘The Big Bopper’ Richardson, with the anniversary falling on Thursday 5 February.
