Fireside Theater – “The Buddy Holly Story”

Before the Beatles and the Rolling Stones ever played a note, popular music was forever changed by a bespectacled kid from Lubbock, Texas – BUDDY HOLLY! Now you can witness his story explode onto the Fireside stage in a toe-tapping, hand-clapping, live-band extravaganza that will have you up and dancing. BUDDY tells the true story of Buddy Holly through his short yet spectacular career, and features the classic songs “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Oh Boy,” “Everyday,” “Not Fade Away,” “Heartbeat,” “Rave On,” as well as The Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace,” Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba,” and many more.
Ticket price includes lunch with dessert & some beverages (see below for options), tax & gratuity. We have a maximum of 30 seats reserved. Deadline for registration is January 13, 2027. We will work out carpooling options for those who wish to ride-share. We will want to plan on arriving at the Fireside Theatre by 10:30am; lunch seating by 11:15am; show starts at 1:30pm; and returning to the Milwaukee/Waukesha area around 5pm.
