The Fonz comes to life in "Happy Days - A New Musical"

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Derby Dinner Playhouse is back with a brand new musical. Keith Kaiser hung out with the Fonz and all his friends Thursday as they prepared for "Happy Days - the Musical."

Derby Dinner Playhouse presents the family friendly HAPPY DAYS - A NEW MUSICAL, running now through May 13, 2012.

Goodbye gray skies, hello blue!

Happy days are here again with a new musical that reintroduces the days of 1959 Milwaukee with one of America's best loved families - the Cunninghams!

The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hang-out, Arnold's, is in danger of demolition, so the entire "Happy Days" gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and TV-worthy wrestling match.  Even Pinky Tuscadero, Fonzie's childhood sweetheart, returns to help. 

HAPPY DAYS - A NEW MUSICAL is based on the hit Paramount Pictures television series and written by the legendary Garry Marshall with music and lyrics by Oscar winning composer Paul Williams.  Songs featured are "Welcome to Wisconsin", "Legend in Leather", "Ordinary Hero", "The Pink's in Town", and more!

HAPPY DAYS - A NEW MUSICAL is under the direction of Lee Buckholz with choreography by Heather Paige Folsom and musical direction by Scott Bradley.

The cast includes Scott Anthony, Kyle Braun, Cary Wiger, Carly Stotts, Sandra Rivera, Matt Wallace, and more!
