Album Description
Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph, Chachi and the unforgettable King of Cool, Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli. Based on the hit television show, the new musical HAPPY DAYS reintroduces one of America's best-loved families, the Cunninghams, and the days of 1959 Milwaukee, complete with varsity sweaters, hula hoops, and jukebox sock-hoppin'. The lovable gang teams up to save their floundering drive-in malt shop hangout, Arnold's, with a dance contest and TV-worthy wrestling match - singing all along the way. Written by the television series creator Garry Marshall, with music and lyrics by Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe-winning songwriter Paul Williams, this nostalgic, spirited cast recording will have you rockin' and rollin' all week long!

Customer Reviews

HAPPY DAYS A NEW MUSICAL must be Broadway bound!
I had the good fortune of seeing HAPPY DAYS A NEW MUSICAL September 2007 at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn NJ. The show was great. The music memorable! Meeting Gary Marshall and Paul Williams only added to the experience. Glad to have the cast recording; I can enjoy the music again and again. If you enjoyed the TV show, you'll love the musical. Joey Sorge is The Fonz! Don't miss your chance to see this show at Goodspeed Opera House this spring in East Haddam CT. Well worth the trip and a great venue.

Oh! Happy Days
Bought the cd because I worked the show in NJ. Has some catchy melodies that take me back to that time. I'd recommend it, if you like showtunes.

Very Happy Days indeed!
Sunday, Monday, Happy Days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days. Joey Sorge stars in Happy Days. Ayyy, The Fonz is back.

What a fun treat getting this CD was. I have been an acting/theatre teacher for 24 years now. From 1983-87 Joey Sorge was my student. In addition to having him as a student in my classes, I directed him in numerous comedies, dramas and musicals. Notable roles included Og, the leprechan in "Finian's Rainbow", Rooster in "Annie" and Danny Zuko in "Grease." There was no doubt in my mind he could be a musical star. He starred as Conrad in my production of "Ordinary People" winning an award for Best Actor in the Maryland High School Theatre Festival.

As his career progressed- two years in "Forever Plaid" in Las Vegas, Sondheim's "Saturday Night" off Broadway (he is on that CD too) and "Follies" on Broadway. After appearing in the Broadway production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" he starred as Jimmy in the National Tour. Then for the last 2 years he had appeared in "The Drowsy Chaperone". Finally a role that is the culmination of all these years of experience, the iconic Fonz in "Happy Days." This cast album features the Papermill Playhouse production. It will be produced at the Goodspeed Opera House this spring before starting on a national tour in California next fall. See it.

This album with music and lyrics by Paul Williams (Academy Award Winner for "Evergreen" with Barbra Streisand). The incredible Garry Marshall who created the TV show wrote the musical. It has the best of both worlds- the characters we love (from the Cunninghams to Arnold) and some new plot twists and fun songs. It is a delight and a fun stroll down memory lane.

For me is it cool to hear Joey Sorge sing whenever I want. These days not being able to see him or talk to him, it is a great to see how far he has gone in these 24 years.
