"Flawless….rings as clear and true as a chord from a Fender Stratocaster." –The Chicago Tribune
"One of the best concerts I've ever seen." –Larry Holly (Buddy's brother)
"Watching Jay Richardson is just like watching his Dad." –Dick Clark
"John Mueller (as Buddy Holly) gives a stunning portrayal. Highly recommended." –Chicago Sun Times
The Winter Dance Party is the official live and authentic re-creation of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper's final tour and the only show endorsed by both the Holly and Valens estate. Each live concert performance includes over two hours of unbridled, high voltage entertainment featuring all the hit songs of the 50's era: “That'll Be The Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Oh, Boy,” “Rave On,” “La Bamba,” “Chantilly Lace,” and many, many more.
John Mueller, the critically acclaimed former star of the London/Broadway hit musical Buddy…the Buddy Holly Story, performs as Buddy Holly and Jay P. Richardson, Jr. fills his legendary father's footsteps as the Big Bopper. Jay brings with him the heritage and feeling that only a son could offer. Ray Anthony performs as Ritchie Valens and is a renowned star of the Legends of Rock and Roll show at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas. The very authentic and energetic four piece band (guitar, drums, stand up bass and sax) includes Grammy award winning Mike Acosta on saxophone.
