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.
