Written to commemorate the 1959 plane crash that took the lives of American musical icons Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, the song about ‘the day the music died’ is crammed with riddles and references to world-changing events in 20th century history. What led to that tragic night in 1959? How do The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Charles Manson all fit in? Why were the Rolling Stones blamed for a murder? And who was the real Miss American Pie? Direct from Harmony House in Hunter River, Prince Edward Island, Mike Ross and an incredible band of Island musicians unlock the mysteries behind this classic song in a concert experience that’s been thrilling audiences for five years and counting. Combining an iconic setlist – including Janis Joplin’s ‘Piece of my Heart’, Bob Dylan’s ‘The Times they are-a Changin’, The Beatles’ ‘Helter Skelter’ and of course, Don McLean’s American Pie – with remarkable stories, INSIDE AMERICAN PIE will take you on a musical journey from the ‘50s all the way through the ‘60s. You’ll never hear ‘American Pie’ the same way again. Age guidance: 12+ Running time: 1 hour and 30 minutes (no interval) Show warnings: Haze, smoke and flashing lights
