Director’s  Notes    I   loved   watching   Happy   Days   when   I   was   a   kid.   All   those   cool  teenagers   hanging   out   at   Arnolds,   drinking   milkshakes   and  dancing   all   the   time-­   I   couldn’t   wait   to   be   a   teenager!     When   I  heard  Garry  Marshall   had   turned   it   into  a  musical,   I  was  excited  but   nervous…  Would   the   play   capture   the   magic   of   the   show?  Would   the   charm  of   the   50’s   endure   into   2016?   I   decided   to   do  some  research.  First,   I   tested  out   the  series  on  my  own  teenage  daughter.   After   a   few   episodes   it   was   obvious   that   she   enjoyed  Richie  and  his  gang  of  friends,  but  she  had  two  favorite  characters  -­  Fonzie  and  Mr.  C.!      Fonzie  was  (and  still  is)  more  than  just  cool!  He  has  depth  and  an  ability  to  communicate  that  goes  far  beyond  the  few  words  that  he  actually   says.     And   Mr.   Cunningham-­   talk   about   your   ordinary  hero!  The  father  who  could  have  solved  all  the  problems,  but  still  believed  in  his  kids  enough  to  let  them  work  through  them  on  their  own-­  he’s  an   incredibly  comforting   figure   to  watch  and  cheer  on.  And   all   that   charm   from   the   TV   series   is   fully   captured   in   the  musical!  What  I  didn’t  expect  was  the  touching  storyline  of  good  ol  Mrs.  C.,  the  infamous  Pinky  Tuscadero  and  Joanie.  But  I  shouldn’t  have  been  surprised.  If  you  go  back  and  watch  the  show,  the  early  seasons   in   particular   were   always   addressing   deeper   issues.  Issues   like,  where  do   I   fit   in?  What   if   I’m  not  exactly  who  people  think  I  am  or  think  I  should  be?  But  my  favorite  part  of  the  show  is  still  all   the  dancing  and  romancing.  Will  Richie,  Ralph  and  Potsie  ever   get   girlfriends?   Will   the   Fonz   ever   settle   down?   And   how  about  Joanie  and  Chachi?      But  truly,  the  COOLEST  thing  about  this  show  is,  you  can  watch  it  WITH   YOUR   WHOLE   FAMILY!   That   just   isn’t   too   common  anymore.  So  grab  your  girl  and/or  the  kids,  and  get  ready  to  rock  and  roll  back  in  time  with  Happy  Days-­  the  Musical!    My  special  thanks  to  Jeff  &  Jenn  Lucas  for  use  of  the  jukebox  and  to  Marlowe  &  Lisa  Wiseman  for  use  of  the  stove  and  fridge.
