The audience was about as old as Holly would have been, had he not died about 45 years ago. Remarkably enthusiastic, considering they're pretty slow moving, escaping to the parking lot. Music's well-presented. If everything seemed to be from the Stone Age, it's appropriate that Holly's initial successes were recorded in Clovis, New Mexico. Famous, beautifully made, early American spear points are named for the town. The people who made those points were presumably mammoth hunters. The show itself is ancient, going back to London in the late 80s, where it played for years, about as persistent as "Blood Brothers" (don't ask). Wiki says it was one of the first "jukebox musicals," which means we can blame it for things like The Judy Garland Musical and The Andrews Sisters Musical. I think all the people who would have gone to The Lawrence Welk Musical have been in heaven for several decades.

There was a celesta, of all things. Beach Boys used a theremin, once, so a celesta must be OK. Edited: 04/13/2011 at 04:33 PM by ww
