Review: RAVE ON: The Undying Appeal of Buddy Holly
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Oct 6, 2025

In recent years Maine State Music Theatre has presented THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY on two occasions – both to sold out houses.  The undying appeal of the rock ‘n’ roll pioneer’s rags to riches story and his tragic early death captivate audiences, but it is without question the series of blockbuster musical hits that form the score which makes THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY irresistible. And so MSMT, for its final concert tribute concert at the Donald M. Gay auditorium in Auburn, has assembled a tribute to Holly and his two foremost colleagues:  the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. RAVE ON will remind audiences of the thrill of the mega mix that closes THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY – only, in this case, the delight continues over two hours with music that defined early rock ‘n’ roll.

by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Sep 21, 2025

Elvis is back! Having mesmerized Maine State Music theatre audiences for two years, Victor Trevino, Jr. now brings his tribute concert to a new venue in Auburn, Maine.  For the first time ever, MSMT has produced a fall season that includes a series of concerts at the brand new, state-of-the-art Donald M. Gay PAC on the Edward Little High School campus. And what better way to delight new audiences in this spectacular new space than to showcase the music of the King of Rock and Roll.

Review: Musical Theatre West Presents BUDDY - THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY
by Michael Quintos - Jul 21, 2025

Musically entertaining though rather light on narrative heft, Musical Theatre West's otherwise rousing, concert-like new production BUDDY - THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY—now on stage at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach through July 27, 2025—is a straightforward, nostalgic jukebox musical that chronicles the meteoric rise and tragic early death of rock-and-roll pioneer Buddy Holly. If you're looking for a feel-good musical with fierce live performances, this show should definitely fit the bill. You might just have to look up a Buddy Holly documentary on your own to fill in the missing story gaps.
