HAPPY DAYS Comes To Manatee Players

By:

The stage musical version of the television sitcom Happy Days opens at the Manatee Players on January 12 and plays through January 29. Performances are Tuesday – Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

All performances are at 102 Old Main Street in downtown Bradenton.

Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy Days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable "king of cool" Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli. Based on the hit Paramount Pictures' television series, Happy Days – A New Musical reintroduces one of America's best loved families, the Cunninghams, and the days of 1959 Milwaukee complete with jukebox sock-hoppin'.

The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hang-out, Arnold's, is in danger of demolition, so the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and tv-worthy wrestling match. 

Happy Days – A New Musical has a book by the legendary Garry Marshall. Music and Lyrics by Oscar winning composer Paul Williams.

The talented cast includes Travis Rogers as the Fonz, Taylor Elizabeth as Pinky Tuscadero, Jason Ellis as Richie, Nick Drivas as Potsie, Joseph Grosso as Ralph, Sam Silverberg as Chachi, Tim Parker as Howard Cunningham, Kelleen Purdin as Marion, Holly Rizzo as Joanie and Denny Miller as Arnold. Also in the cast are Katie Priest, Matthew Boerner, Liz Pascoe, Danielle Maxwell, Alina Evans, Eliza Lipton, Gunnar Foster and Tyler Johnson.

The show is being directed and choreographed by Cory Boyas with Rick Bogner as musical director.
