Toby's the Dinner Theatre of Columbia Presents HAPPY DAYS, 3/10 - 6/12

Based on the hit Paramount Pictures television series, Happy Days, A New Musical reintroduces, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable ‘King of Cool'" Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli, and one of television's most loved families - the Cunninghams: Howard, Marion, Richie, and Joanie.

The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hangout, Arnold's, is in danger of demolition, so the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and a TV-worthy wrestling match. Even Pinky Tuscadero - Fonzie's childhood sweetheart, returns to help and - lo and behold! - their old flame is rekindled.

Happy Days, A New Musical, has a rockin' and toe-tappin' and finger snappin' score from Oscar-winner Paul Williams ("Evergreen" from ‘The Way We Were'), and a funny book by the TV series' original creator Garry Marshall

Return to the days of 1959 Milwaukee complete with varsity sweaters, hula hoops and jukebox sock-hoppin' fun. This perfectly family friendly musical will have you rockin' and rollin' all week long! And now the joy of Happy Days will be introduced to the new generation, so bring the kids and grandkids and sit back and enjoy some of the wonderful memories we shared with The Cunninghams - with them! ‘Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy Days are here again!'
