These Happy Days Are Ours!


One of the many perks of Jon’s job at SAP is that he gets discounted tickets to shows. As many of you know, we love the theatre and we want to continually expose our kids to the arts, whenever we can. Tonight, as we were eating dinner, Jon shared that Happy Days, the new musical was at Gammage. After more conversation steered in different directions as it always does at our table, he left us then returned sharing his idea to take our Party of Five, using his $10 ticket option. The show was to start in only an hour, so we booked it to downtown Tempe, just in time.

It was a fun, clean show however I wish the kids had seen the tv show first so they could relate like Jon and I could.

The Fonz, Joey Sorge, looked the part, and imitates Henry Winkler's supercool mannerisms with ease and is a heck of a dancer and singer, to boot. And then there’s Pinky Tuscadero, who could belt any note with ease. This girl had lungs.

It was another fun, spontaneous FamilyFun night. I wonder what the next show will be that we can enjoy together.

Scott and I have season ticket this year and I loved this show. Scott thought it was a little cheesy, but I thought it was just like an episode. We were there the night that the "real" Ralph and Potsie were there and also Garry Marshall....is that the night you went?
