FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH AT 7:30 P.M. AND SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1ST AT 7:30 P.M.
I am a new board member at the Capitol Theatre and excited that the Buddy Holly story musical is coming to Yakima. If it’s anything like the recent Frankie Valli story musical that also toured the Capitol Theatre, it’s going to be full of great energy from the cast and a fun, rock ‘n roll show! Ticket prices range from the cheap seats ($20) all the way up to front row sections ($79).
