On Sunday night, we went to the latest show at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre. This one is called The Buddy Holly Story.
I can honestly say that I was dreading going to this performance. Most of these shows at the Mayfield really suck. The same actors seem to appear for all of the musical productions that the Mayfield puts on but this time there were a few different actors and they were refreshing to see.
Also, this one differed in that there was an actual story to it without just a medly of songs that the artists would have performed.
The play is very well done and the actors/musicians are very talented. Both of the actors that are splitting the duties of Buddy have done this character before in London and one has even performed for Buddy's widow. Also, the voice was spot on, the music was tight, and the acting was passable. If the Mayfield had more shows like this one, I think the popularity would increase. In fact, the house was packed for this one.
I am going to give this production a 7 out of 10 - which is amazing if you have ever heard my comments concering the other musical productions.
I will give another review after I get to see the next production in August.
