We’ve almost reached the end of the road for the 2023 UK tour! These past 33 weeks have been nothing short of spectacular, as we've witnessed audiences in every part of the country up and dancing, clapping and singing along, raising many a theatre roof along the way!
This week is Dementia Action Week, the Alzheimer’s Society’sbiggest and longest running awareness campaign.
Following on from this campaign week we are hosting three dementia-friendly performances during the Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story UK tour, so that people living with dementia, their families, and carers can experience the show in a more relaxed environment.
It's been incredible performing in front of our audiences again on the 2023 UK tour! Wonderful too, travelling the length and breadth of the country seeing people up, dancing, and clapping along with joy in theatres, and with many more dates still to come we're only just getting started!
