Goodbye Gray Skies: Happy Days Musical Begins Paper Mill Run

Playbill News: "After a sold-out developmental run by Goodspeed Musicals in Connecticut, Happy Days: A New Musical arrives at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, Sept. 26. The limited engagement, which runs through Oct. 28, will officially open Sept. 30."

A happy days musical, this is one I didn't think I would see. It almost sounds intriguing. One of the things that make me question it is the fact that the style of the show was a lot like "Grease." I wonder if the show is facing this issue or ignoring it completely.

This one definitely pushes things a bit too far, in my opinion. A musical about the 50s has already been done, and the characters from Happy Days, namely Fonzie, have been spun off in a million differnet ways (parodies on Family Guy, various other parodies). I don't think that this show will make it past Paper Mill, although stranger things have happened.
