The Fonz and the Car Hops Rehearse for Happy Days

The kids have started rehearsals and are ready to go!

The teen Happy Days cast (who probably hadn’t heard of Happy Days or the Fonz before auditioning for the Main Stage Performance camp) started their daily rehearsals. The show runs from August 10 to August 17. They had about three weeks to learn songs, lines & choreography as well as get fit for costumes, get used to roller skates, help with sets, and make props!

Of course, any of those who were around during the 70’s (should you care to admit it) know what Happy Days is and know all about the Fonz. You have no problem grasping this musical is based on the hit TV Show. For the rest of you, that’s what the internet is for =): Yes, this is a wikipedia link to Happy days.

Of course, not everything is hard work for our local teens working on the production. Yvonne took them out to dinner at Hogan’s Diner to get that 50’s diner feel.
