Buddy Holly story to play at Lied
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
Lied Center stage songs
The Lied Center Broadway & Beyond Series and Delta Dental will feature the Phoenix Productions Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story at 7:30 p.m.
The life story of one of the founders of rock 'n' roll will be sang and danced on the Lied Center stage tonight.
Deb Fiscella, press representative for Phoenix Productions, said Buddy had its debut in 1989 in London and closed there last month. She said it opened on Broadway in 1990 and closed after 225 performances.
The musical is a biography of the life of Holly. It features his music and the music of Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. The three died together in a plane crash after a concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, on February 2, 1959.
The classic rock' n roll of the 1950s is one aspect of the play that makes the musical appealing to audiences, Brad Knauss, director of marketing for the Lied Center, said.
"This production is for people who enjoy the classic type of rock 'n' roll," he said. "In the past two years the retro thing has been in vogue, so it will appeal to more people."
The Lied Center Broadway & Beyond Series and Delta Dental will present Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Tickets start at $34 and are half price for students.
Fiscella said the act that re-enacted the final show at the Surf Ballroom transported the audience to the concert in Clear Lake, Iowa.
"It has been our experience in past shows that the scene is so much like the concert that people have been on their feet dancing and singing with them," she said.
Tickets are $40 for floor and first balcony seating and $34 for second balcony seating. Student tickets are half price.

'South Pacific' to take stage tomorrow
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
The University Theater will transport play goers to the tropical isles of the South Pacific this weekend and next.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific is the story of two romances. One occurs between Ensign Nellie Forbush, a Navy nurse, and Emile de Becque, a wealthy French plantation owner. Another takes place between Liat, a native girl, and Lt. Joseph Cable, a young American Marine.
John Staniunas, associate professor of theater and film and South Pacific director, said the musical, written in 1949 about World War II, reflected the United State's current military situation.
"It is a classic of the American theater," Staniuwas said, "but it's relevant to the issues of our nation right now."
"It's not just a simple story of a romance between Nellie and Emile," the
"It is a classic of the American theater, but it's relevant to the issues of our nation right now."
Kelly Mengelkoch, who plays Ensign Nellie Forbush, said she remembered the musical from her childhood. She said she enjoyed the show then, but now that she was older, she understood the underlying tensions of the play and noticed new things.

Wichita senior said. "I didn't notice the racial issues or the sex drive of the men on the island."
Stanianus said the play was sure to lift the spirits of the audience members.
"The story is told beautifully and sung extremely well," he said. "If (anyone) just wants to be happy they should come."
