The students of Wellington College did themselves and Buddy proud with a truly rockin' production of the show at the Brierley Theatre in New Zealand's capital, in the summer of 2018! Testimonial:
“We took a risk at Wellington College, an all-boys high school, by deciding to do the full 2 hour 20 minute version of the show, but we are so pleased we did. With excellent support material from Rick and a cast and crew that totally got into the very compelling Buddy story, we produced a great show. Our students not only entertained with their full house audience on their feet every night, they now have a wonderful appreciation of Buddy's talent and his musical influence. We all loved it” — Kirsty Hazledine, Wellington College Arts Director and Buddy producer
