Gary Busey News

Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) welcomes New York Fringe Outstanding Solo Performance Award-winner David Carl and his hilarious Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet as part of the yearlong Shakespeare 400 Chicago celebration. Co-created by Carl and director Michole Biancosino, Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet depicts Shakespeare's Hamlet as one imagines Busey might-unhinged and full of detours to his movies and personal grievances. Deemed a "deliciously deranged… head-spinning performance" by The New York Times, this offbeat spectacle is featured in the theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare for only eight performances, July 12-17, 2016.

Theatre By the Sea (TBTS) in Wakefield, RI (I would have thought Matunuck) opens its season with a rousing version of BUDDY-THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY, a jukebox musical in two acts with a book written by Alan Janes, and music and lyrics by a variety of songwriters, mostly of course, Buddy Holly. Based on the life and career of the early rock and roller, the musical hews more closely to Holly's actual life story than the 1978 film version, which starred Gary Busey, and follows Holly from his struggles to escape country music and establish himself as a rocker, to his untimely death in a plane crash in 1959.
