A show and dinner with my hubby. Sounds great!
My son is graduating and is a theatre junkie. It would be an awesome way to celebrate his graduation as we thought “That’ll be the day” he graduates. Not really, but it is hard to believe he is graduating!

I am the Musical Theatre teacher at Pro Arte Dance Studios, and love seeing any musicals that are playing in the city. I have enjoyed many productions at the Stanley, especially the ones that have some of my students in them.

Love the Arts Club productions! In desperate need of night out!
We already have a group of twenty-nine attending the June 26 performance – all of us in “Buddy” attire. We’re going for burgers and shakes – “SHAKE YER BURGY” – before the performance, just around the corner @ Vera’s. That’ll be the Day! by the time we get to the theatre!!
I would love, though, to treat my “Peggy Sue” to a nice dinner out at the WEST. I would give the tickets to my son and his friend – or we (Peggy and I) would attend at the WEST in our “Buddy” attire and trip the light fantastic across the street for the performance!
Pick me!!
My (just turned 9 on May 19) daughter loves the theatre. I’m taking her to 3 shows at the Children’s Festival during the Victoria Day Long Weekend. On May 15, she saw Shakespeare’s As You Like It at the Waterfront Theatre. In November 2009, she saw White Christmas at the Stanley, and two Carousel Theatre’s productions: Robin Hood and The Big League. In December 2009, she went to two – count ’em two – shows of the ballet The Nutcracker. Last summer, she saw both Theatre Under the Stars productions at the Malkin Bowl. Last May, while visiting Toronto, she saw The Jersey Boys (a musical about the life and times of Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons).
I’m sure she would loooooove to see The Buddy Holly Story.
My son is a big Holly fan and would love to win this!
May 27th is our 21st wedding anniversary! I have been dying to get to Buddy Holly at the Arts Club. Thanks for offering a wonderful evening out!
What an awesome way to rediscovery Buddy’s music!
Oh my goodness…. A night of eating great food and singing Peggy sue…. Absolute perfection!
Peggy sue, Peggy sue..I wanna win this contest too! 😉
The show would be wonderful on its own but the dinner would really top it off!
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’! Oh Boy!
Can’t wait to see it!
I would love to win 2 tix and dinner to surprise my hubby – our anniversary is May 25th 🙂
ooooh this sounds super fun and just in time for my Birthday too!

Great show , as good as one could ever ask to see Buddy play live .
Thank you .
Craig
Sounds like a wonderful evening out. Fingers crossed that I get picked! 🙂
We saw ‘Buddy’ on the opening weekend but would love to go again. I am continually amazed and impressed by the wonderful local talent we have here and the stars of Buddy are fantastic.
Sounds like a great time!
Please add my entry. 🙂
I love going to the Stanley & Buddy Holly is one of my fave shows. Dinner would make it that much sweeter!
oh take me back to those good old days when I was sixteen and danced with my New York cousin who looked a lot like Buddy. I would love to give my daughter
and son in law a dinner date anniversary gift and a glimpse into the music of my youth….rock and roll forever!
This would make a FANTABULOUS 40th birthday gift for my boyfriend! 🙂
Love West… love Buddy Holly!!!
My brother-in-law (unfortunately now deceased) was a Buddy look-alike so would be fun to attend in his honour!
My brother-in-law (unfortunately now deceased as well as Buddy) was a Buddy look alike so would be a great tribute to Bob.
HE WAS MY DADS FAVORITE! I GREW UP LISTENING TO HIM, AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SHOW! THANKS!

One of the great musicals of all time.. would love to see this latest version here in Vancouver, produced by one of our best theatre companies!
What a great evening out! Dinner and Buddy!!!

What a fantastic evening it would be – I will take my daughter who is attending Langara in Theatre production and she would be thrilled. Thanks for the chance.
I have loved Buddy Holly since I was a child & would love to see this performance!
I would love to win and take my husband for our 38th anniversary
That sounds like such a fun show to see!
My wife and I saw “BUDDY” in London in 1998 and that was the highlight of our tour through London, it was that good. The British Open and Buddy made the trip almost perfect.
Would love this! Dinner and theatre, two of my favourite things. Heh. And some good music, to boot. Sounds like a fab evening.
Dinner and performance..wowo will “Rave on” “Everyday”
Sounds like a wonderful evening!
Sounds like a great evening! I was so saddened when it came across the wire that Buddy Holly had been killed. I remember it like it was yesterday. When my high school sweetheart and I went to school dances, we always requested, Rave On, one of Buddy’s songs. What fun it would be to have a dinner date and see the show!
This is exactly what I need for my 2nd wedding anniversary next week. Please make me the winner! 🙂
Wow! Would love to win this. 🙂
Love Buddy Holly. Love West. Love my boyfriend and his birthday is coming up in two weeks. This would be an awesome surprise since we’ve both lost our jobs and are watching all our pretty pennies!
The perfect way to celebrate my husband’s birthday on the 27th!
I’d love to take my husband out on a much deserved date! Good food and a great show!
This would be the perfect celebration evening for my husband’s birthday on the 27th!
I remember watching the movie about Buddy Holly’s life. It was such a sad story to see him die at such a young age and in such a tragic way.
I went to the show last week – took 5 other family members with me – we had a great time. I was dancing in the aisles and singing along. I would love to win a dinner out and go again. I will probably go at least once more anyway!! Thanks. Great Show!!!!!
have seen Zach several times with the Human Statues – a truly great performer – cannot wait to see him in this show!
Can’t remember the last time I have eaten at a fancy restaurant and gone to a live fun show.
This would be truly “Amazing” as Buddy Holly was one of my favourites !!!!
I love the Arts Club Theatre and Musicals! This si an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
The show was amazing. I know my friend would love it and I would love to see it again!
Buddy Holly was probably the greatest of all rock n roll pioneers. If his life hadn’t been cut short, he surely would have surpassed Elvis in the history of rock n roll. To see this play would be incredible.
Looks great!
Pick me pick me! I like musicals AND eating out!
What a better way to celebrate the days of Buddy Holly!
I love musicals and it would be great to share this evening with someone special.
Holly is synonymous with Christmas. Sort of. So is mistletoe. Sort of! If I win it’ll be an early Christmas and I bet I’d get a kiss from my wife!
would be lovely… 🙂
Sounds like a fun night out!
How the West was won… by entering this contest.
Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, Joan Biaz…..an era that has not been duplicated since. Thanks for the remembering.
Would make a great birthday gift for my daughter, her birthday is on May 28th. Hope I am lucky.

What could be better than dinner for two and the Buddy Holly play at the Stanley!
Can’t wait to go to see the show!
Holding my breath for tickets and dinner for two
Sounds fantastic!
Love Buddy Holly
Couldn’t think of a better way to spend an evening than dinner and watching a great performance! Buddy Holly! Yeah!
Supper and a Play, Fantastic
Nothing better than a live show! Give me the live arts any day!!! Love it!
There’s a Buddy Holly song I can’t get out of my head and this could be the antidote 🙂
Dreamy date night!
I would love to win this prize package – love Buddy Holly music.
I had two tickets to go to the Buddy Holly Story, but I gave them away to friends as I had to go to the island to look after my mom who has been newly diagnosed with colon cancer. Now I am back and am available to go. I hope you really consider me.
I love Buddy Holly music!!
Thanks for the offer~~
My wife and I met in the “just post” Buddy Holly era and we both loved his music. After approx. 40 years of marriage, during which time we had 3 kids, our youngest at 26 years of age, finally moved out of home last Saturday, 15 May 2010 and in so doing left us after all these years…”empty nesters”.
We are now free, with some sadness, to renew old memories and start doing new “old” things. The Buddy Holly Story, with dinner, would coincide beautifully with our new freedom given his era was pretty much where we started out.
Thank you…..Bill and Barbara
West is the best and would love to see Buddy
This is amazing! Thanks for the awesome contest 😀
Sounds like great fun and West is a fabulous restaurant!
I remember like yesterday, Red Robinson is still cool too.
What a treat this would be! Please include me in the draw and good luck to all.
Whoo! That would be a fantastic night and great introduction to a new restaurant.
Would LOVE to see this production!!!
Our 20th wedding anniversary was last week and we both forgot! This would be a good celebration to make up for our lapsing memories!
Rave on! Count me in!
My first visit to your page and I found a contest. Love it!
Would love to see this show!!! Oh…and a chance to finally get check out West?? Fingers crossed.
I’m loving this treat for my husband and I to go to…he’s so deserving of a Father’s Day gift and my fingers are crossed!
Thanks for the opportunity to sign up!
It sounds like it would be a fantastic evening!
That’ll be the night!!! Would so love to go and take my sister, we know every word to every song!! And I have always wanted to experience West!! Wish me luck!!
My daughter loves musicals. It would be a great experience for her to be able to watch the play live.
Wow! Living in the boonies aka Langley a night out on the town at West (Bon appetit) & the Sights & Sounds of The Arts Club’s Buddy Holly would be a night to remember.
That would make for such an incredible evening!
would love to take my sister..we know every word to every song,and I have always wanted to experience West..wish me luck!!
A West/Stanley evening sounds perfect! Fingers crossed!
Wanted to see this performance then realized it was sold out, would love to take my Fiance to the show as she has acted in plays such as Chicago, etc, and an evening away from the kids would be awsome.
Pick me! Pick me!
I want to take my dad to this. We have been so lucky to enjoy the common love for theater and he REALLY wants to see this! I hope I win!!
sounds perfect!!
My son and daughter have seen this show already and they are ready to see it again!! Since I am 73 – it was during my time and I would very much enjoy going to see it and refreshing my memory about those now very innocent years which were quite daring at that time.
Would love to see this show and have dinner at West!
“Everyday” was one of the first songs our class learned to play on guitar in Gr. 7 by our drama/music teacher. I’ve heard such great things about this production of “The Buddy Holly Story”. I hope I win tickets. Thanks for the contest.
I’m trying to get my boyfriend to enjoy the theatre as much as I do, especially musicals. What better way than to start off with Buddy Holly? Please help so that he will get the bug and take me often 🙂
Can’t wait!
Love Buddy!
Rock and Roll..
Love Buddy!
Sounds perfect!
I’m a big fan.
Good luck everyone.
Hope I’m lucky.
Fantastic!
Hi, What a great tribute to such a legend who’se life ended so soon. I’ve always loved his music, saw the movie & seen an impersonator, but have not seen the musical. I’d love to see the musical and i know a friend I would choose to come with me. We both could use a great night out like this about now.
Thanks for all you do.
Sandy
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the theatre and I miss it. I would love to see “Buddy”.
Ooooh, it will be so exciting to win, as it is our 10th year anniversary. What a pleasant surprise it will be. “Buddy Holly”…WOW!, and to boot at one of the best theatres in Vancouver. The Stanley theatre is legendary, and how finer of a restaurant to be dining at “West”. One of Vancouver’s #1 restaurants. Hope to hear from you soon!
This sounds like the perfect night out before our baby arrives!
http://www.twitter.com/LISTED
Not for me; for her. The one who never enters, thus never wins. She’s my honey, and I’m certain that she will take me along 😉
Dinner out would be enough to impress her. An evening hearing the music of childhood memories, and seeing Buddy brought alive on-stage, would be ‘simply the best’.
…..and, I’d be a hero! Well, maybe not.
Her name is Heather. Pretty as a flower, we’re lucky in love.
It would be awesome to win!
I MUST see this!!! 😀
That will be the day! count me in!
If I win, I think I’ll have the american pie for desert
My husband is a big fan of Buddy Holly – would love to see the play – will buy tickets anyway. thanks, Noreen.
Maybe this time . . .
Front row center would be fine!
sounds fun
yay
I would love to relive my youth with my grandaughter, who is an avid fan of buddy holly, the big bopper and richie valens. She sings along to american graffitti in the car when I am driving.
It would be a great experience to spend a special occasion like this with her.
Long live Buddy!!
Jan Becker
*LOVE* Buddy Holly! Hope I win, it will be great to get out of the house without the kids for once! 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing the show. The Arts Club does such a good job!!!
My 10 year old Daughter and I have started to go to the theater once a year. It is special night to us and I love to watch her face sparkle with excitment in awe of the actors and actressess. She now wants to learn to Act and Sing. This would be a vivacious night to share with her.
4 course dinner at West – fantastic!
We first saw the “Buddy Holly Story in London (UK) in 1993. My youngest son was very interested in life at that time and refused to go so we went with the eldest. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and our youngest has been regretting missing it ever since.
Winning this contest would allow us to finally enjoy the performance with our son and he would be overjoyed.
I hope that the performance in Vancouver is as good as the one in London.
I’ve loved the music of Buddy Holly since I was a child. Also, West is a restaurant of which I have read excellent reviews but so far have only experienced it from the outside looking in. It would be great to win this package.
I’ve already cleared my schedule!
Loved him and his music when I was a teeny-bopper and still do!
sounds like a wonderful evening … love the music of Buddy Holly and love good food!
How I would love to have an evening like this!!!
WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO SPEND A SUMMER EVEINING IN VANCOUVER. GREAT COMBO!

If only life was a musical…..
Sounds like a great show!
Thank you for the chance to win!
I have heard nothing but great things about the show since it’s opening! I would love to win tickets to see it and enjoy the tunes of Buddy Holly on stage!
My friend saw the show and just loved it, so we are ready to go!!
My husband and I are ready to have a date night.
I would love to take my friend who spends hours volunteering at an animal shelter, she could do with a special night out.
Thank you for giving this gift.

I was just a kid when my older cousins were dancing and singing to Buddy Holly’s music. Lots of good memories.
Looking forward to seeing the production with my daughter. Hear it’s terrific.
Winning tickets to see the Buddy Holly Story would be a wonderful way to celebrate my 64th birthday – May 27th. Thanks
My husband and I will be belting out the tunes AND dancing in the aisles – please, please, please choose us:)
Pick me Pick me!! I love the Stanley Stage!
This contest actually was what drew me to your website. I was thrilled with what I have seen so far and your blog is now a must read. Thanks.
Sounds like a great way to spend an evening!
It sounds amazing. Just moved back to the west coast from Canada and definately have Granville Island on the list of places to show my Kiwi fiance!
Ooh la la! Fantastic! This is a really great giveaway you have going on!
Would love to go-Thanks!
I’d love to see this play @ the Stanley theatre. The last time there we took our daughter kara and her guy Scott to see Les Mis, Kara remember our first time seeing this play @ the Queen E when she was a pre-teen and was so excited to share this version with her guy and her parents (us). So thanks for the memories as that’s what life is made of.
sounds like sooo much fun! 🙂
You’ve convinced me to go. Also, great blog!
I’ll take my Mom. She’d love it and so would I. Thanks!
Dinner and a show. Yes please.
I would be so happy to win this! Seriously happy!
Can’t wait to take it all in!!!
I always stop and read the menu at West when I walk by. The food looks delicious!
I have always enjoyed Buddy Holly’s music and his life story. It would be great to win tickets to see the show and have a dinner out.
Can’t wait!!
My 84 year old Dad is going to see it as a subscriber. He said he read the playlist and didn’t recognize a single song . . . what a waste! He didn’t offer to give up his ticket to me cause he’s going to the lecture with Red Robinson – who has suddenly become a contemporary of his. If I told him this 40 years ago . . !
My wife is convocating at UBC that week and we would love to go! Pick me! Pick Me!
This sounds like a great show…will try to go even if I don’t win!
My husband would love this – good luck to all – especially me!!!
Have heard nothing but great reviews of this production. Would love to see it with my husband, who comes from Peru and who would like very much to experience the music that was important to me when i was young(er).
What a great night out, I’m in
That would be the best belated mothers gift I could get. Music from my era.
Cool contest… hope I win!
Oh Ya! Ohhh “Baby Sue”! It’d be a rockin’ good time to relive Buddy Holly Days.
The same female star who was in ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ @ Queen Playhouse, performs in the Buddy Holly story. The last time I was at the Arts Club was 10 years ago & I was 17. What a perfect 10th year anniversary for me if I win. Bonus: I love B.H.’s music.
I would love to take my daughter to this. She learned about Buddy Holly from Weezer, so I think it’s time for the “real” thing.
TOO YOUNG TO HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE.THIS WOULD BE IDEAL
I love theater. Would love to win this. Thanks for the giveaway
Great play and one of the best restaurants! I’m definitely down for that!
I need some inspiration about now. Music is the best way to connect and feel good with a Buddy.
Loved the show and so did my 69 yr old friend who reminisced that time of her life and the music that defined it 🙂 I also thought the singing was magnificent!
I am looking forward to Buddy Holly whether or not I win the tickets but am really looking forward to trying out the great food at the WEST. I have walked by and checked their menu on countless occasions but have never gone in. My fingers and toes are now crossed in anticipation!
What a great opportunity – good food and good theatre combined! I’m of the Buddy Holly era and would love to see this show.

I hope I win Buddy Holly is Amazing Everyday is one of my favorite songs. Its sad that he dies at the age of 22 we never saw his full potential. I HOPE I WIN!!!
It is a great show. I took my sister to it for her birthday on May 18 and we both loved it. It would be great to be able to gift someone else with tickets and also have dinner at West, right in my neighbourhood.
Dinner and the theatre? Is there a better way to spend an evening? Pick ME! Pick ME!

Buddy Holly Rocks. I love the Stanley Theatre.
Would love to see it – have heard great things about it from friends in London.
I’ve heard fantastic things about this production and others in the past.
WEst is considered one of Vancouver’s finest restaurants.
Amazing prize.
Would love to get these tickets for our silent auction! 😀
I have been a devoted fan of Buddy Holly since 1956, and, have strong memories of when his death was announced on the public address system in high school, and the sorrow that shook the whole school.
A few years ago my wife and I travelled to London, England, and, we were thrilled to view the staqe show of the “Buddy Holly Show” in London. I am now in my mid-sixties, and cannot think of a greater thrill than to see the “Buddy Holly” story in my home town (Vancouver, B.C.} after all these years.
thank you
