ICE CUBES: "Buddy Holly" sings for the Phillies

Buddy Holly wasn’t just an awesomely rocking, mesmerizing pop-composing legend of the 1950s or the only sane character that Gary Busey ever acted as. Apparently, he’s a Phillies fanatic with an ear for crowd-interactive baseball songs. OK, in reality, it’s Christopher Sutton, the actor who plays “Buddy Holly” in the Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story musical now playing at Walnut Street Theatre (now extended through July 22), who sang “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” at Monday night’s Phillies game with his costar Lyn Philistine (“Maria Elena”). Lyn and Christopher are married in real life, by the way. Everyone had a good time and bats and balls were exchanged. But still, for a second, it could’ve been “Buddy” himself out there on the grassy knoll, hiccupping his way through the b-ball crowd stirrer. That’ll be the day. Check here for tickets and times.
