Reviews:

"The success of this kind of musical concert hinges on the performance of the actor/musician in the lead role. And the happiest news is that the classically trained Matthew Gray as Buddy Holly is completely appealing. His total package is stop-you-in-your-tracks amazing. Musically, his singing and playing are spot-on, and if that were not enough, he absolutely looks like the iconic Buddy Holly. Happily, Gray's focus, as an actor and as a musician is to portray the Holly character, not to do a Buddy Holly impersonation. Gray's charismatic delivery is energetic, honest and strong. He has Holly's music right down to the gnat's eyelash."
