Step back in time and experience the music that defined a generation! John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party® is the official and authentic re-creation of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper’s final tour—the only show ever endorsed by the Holly, Valens, and Richardson estates.
For over two hours, audiences are transported to 1959 with all the high-energy hits you love: That’ll Be the Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, Rave On, La Bamba, Chantilly Lace, and many more.
Starring John Mueller, the critically acclaimed former star of the U.S. touring production of Buddy…The Buddy Holly Story, as Buddy Holly. He’s joined by Linwood Sasser as the Big Bopper and Ray Anthony as Ritchie Valens—well-known from Las Vegas’ Legends of Rock and Roll. Backed by a dynamic four-piece band featuring Grammy Award-winner Mike Acosta on saxophone, this show delivers an unforgettable night of rock ‘n’ roll history.
