Buddy is a multi-award-winning West End show that has toured repeatedly for several decades.

Audiences are invited to experience the drama, passion and excitement of rock ‘n’ roller Buddy Holly’s story, from his meteoric rise to fame and final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his death at the age of 22.

In 18 short months the Texas-born boy revolutionised the face of contemporary music influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen.

Beautiful won Olivier, Tony and Grammy awards, and is based on the early life and career of legendary singer/songwriter Carole King, from her days as a songwriter to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.

The hit musical comedy Hairspray returned to Bradford in a new production, set in Baltimore in 1962 where Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, is on a mission to follow her heart.
