A production packed with tremendous young talent, Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater in Fresno hosted a wondrous run of Buddy from the Good Company Players, during spring 2026!
(L-R) Khari Somerville (Tyrone Jones), Daniel Montgomery (Buddy Holly), and Miles Mellon (Tommy)
Reviews (abridged):
“…Holly himself, portrayed by the talented Daniel Montgomery in his theatre debut at Roger Rocka’s… it’s such an accomplishment… He truly gives his all to the many demands the role presents… Even in the sparse, quieter moments of the show, I could see that Montgomery is an active participant in the narrative and always present in the moment of his character. It was easy to tell that he truly wants to do right by Holly, giving the part the vocal flair and physicality required…
“The rest of the cast gives their all… That energy and charm are really a perfect embodiment of the show… It’s incredibly energetic”

“Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story is a non-stop blast from the past, so grab your Bobby sox, slick back your ducktail, and bask in the glorious songs of Buddy Holly”
