And the opportunity to take stock of where we are, especially when it is the beginning of a new decade. So, it seems like a good time to turn our gaze both backward and forward — to celebrate the past and challenge ourselves in the future. Our winter productions provide you with this compelling, dual opportunity. In the nostalgia department, we’re thrilled to ring in 2020 by going back to our roots — the roots of rock and roll, that is — with Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story. For a skinny kid from Texas, Buddy had an oversized influence on a generation of musicians and entertainers. This new version is directed by Tony Award-nominee and Playhouse favorite, Marcia Milgrom Dodge (The Secret Garden, Cabaret) and features a multi-talented ensemble of actor-singer-musicians who bring Buddy and all his friends to life right here on our biggest stage! At the same time, we want to cast our gaze on the present and the future. Our world premiere of americUS by the internationally acclaimed performance ensemble Universes takes a keen and critical eye to what’s happening in contemporary America. Who are we as a country in 2020? How do we handle the challenges, inequities and opportunities in the coming decade? In a theatrical collage of monologues, song, spoken-word poetry and dance, Universes takes a deep dive into the state of the union. Is it challenging? Yes. Is it important? Absolutely. Please join us for a new kind of storytelling unlike anything you’ve seen before! As always, we thank you for making the live theatre part of your life. Together with our arts partners throughout this community, we make Cincinnati a vibrant and fulfilling place to work and live.

See what other rock and roll legends have said about Holly and his band The Crickets. “He had recorded something like 60 songs and every one of them was a hit, and most were hit records. Even the Beatles cannot compare to the magnitude of this contribution. The music he made, he invented himself, with very little help from others.” — Don McLean “I still like Buddy’s vocal style. And his writing. One of the main things about The Beatles is that we started out writing our own material. John and I started to write because of Buddy Holly. It was like, ‘Wow! He writes and is a musician.’” — Paul McCartney “I was looking for a name like The Crickets that meant two things, and from crickets I got to beetles. And I changed the BEA, because ‘beetles’ didn’t mean two things on its own. When you said it, people thought of crawly things; and when you read it, it was beat music.” — John Lennon “Buddy Holly was the first one that we were really aware of in England who could play and sing at the same time — not just strum, but actually play the licks.” — John Lennon “I play Buddy Holly every night before going onstage. It keeps me honest.” — Bruce Springsteen BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY • 14 “It was the fact that we were doing Buddy’s song [‘Not Fade Away’] that also gave us the extra provocation to start writing our own songs.” — Keith Richards “I just have some sort of feeling that he was — I don’t know how or why — but I know he was with us all the time we were making this record in some kind of way.” — Bob Dylan “[John] wore glasses, but he would only wear them in private… But when Buddy came out, the glasses came out too… In our imaginations back then, John was Buddy and I was Little Richard or Elvis. You’re always somebody when you start.” — Paul McCartney “I only needed specs for reading, but as a result of wearing them all the time to try to look like Buddy Holly, I became genuinely nearsighted.” — Elton John “Of all the music heroes of the time, Buddy Holly was the most accessible, and he was the real thing… He was one of us.” — Eric Clapton “Buddy Holly’s death is what I used to try to write the biggest possible song I could write about America.
