Teen Idol: The Bobby Vee Story
History Theatre
30 East Tenth Street St. Paul
1959. With the tragic crash of Buddy Holly's plane, a bright new star from Fargo emerged. Fifteen-year-old Bobby Velline performed at the Winter Dance Party in Moorhead, MN the day the music died. Bobby went on to record his first hit single, Suzie Baby, in Minneapolis - and soon would become a teen idol appearing on American Bandstand with Dick Clark and an international star who thrilled audiences for more than a decade with Top 40 hits like Devil or Angel, The Night Has A Thousand Eyes, Come Back When You Grow Up Girl, Take Good Care of My Baby and many more. Follow Bobby's musical journey that includes fellow pop stars like Little Anthony & The Imperials, Ronnie & The Ronettes, Dion, and Del Shannon.

Teen Idol: The Bobby Vee Story Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"...Solid performances fuel the show. Tyler Michaels continues his years-long hot streak as Vee, showcasing both the naive young man and the more weary, post-success singer. The changes are subtle (a change in posture or even hairstyle) but work wonders."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Highly Recommended
"...You might cry, as I did. Especially if you've seen loved ones face some of the same issues. The show packs an emotional punch - but is also highly entertaining. Sounds like a hit to me."

"...The result is a highly enjoyable show. Just how highly depends in part on how much nostalgia one has for 1960s rock and roll hits. We are not talking about rhythm 'n' blues-driven rock, or LSD fueled acid rock, but soft rock pop sounds, like the acres of hits churned out by Carole King. In fact, Vee's best known hit, "Take Good Care of My Baby" (#1 in September, 1961), was written by King with Gerry Goffin. In addition to Bobby Vee, reincarnations of Del Shannon, Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Ronettes, Dion and the Belmonts, Johnny Burnette, and Chubby Checker perform their hits."
