HAPPY DAYS
Goodbye grey skies, hello blue...... that’s what we're all dreaming of isn't it?
This summer, the Appeal Theatre Group will be putting on a premiere production of ‘Happy Days’
A New Musical full of upbeat songs and great dance routines, which revisits the fondly remembered Cunningham family.
Based on the hit Paramount Pictures television series, it reintroduces one of America’s best loved families, the Cunninghams — yes; Howard, Marion Richie and Joanie are here with Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable “king of cool” Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli.
Written by the original series creator Garry Marshall with music by Oscar winner Paul Williams (Evergreen, The Rainbow Connection, The Muppet Christmas Carol)
"If you like Grease you will love Happy Days. A power house, rock and roll trip down memory lane, HAPPY DAYS is not to be missed ”- NY Daily News
We will be casting the show in early March.
Could you be a Fonz, Richie or Howard……..?

THE NEW WOLSEY THEATRE - IPSWICH
Wednesday June 27th – Saturday June 30th
Matinee - Saturday
The ESTAA Awards took place on 19th March 2005 at The Elizabeth Hotel Copdock.
This Year Appeal received three nominations; Michael Ryles - Youth Achievement,
Jo Whelton - Achievement in Direction, and Best Musical and Sound. All three
nominations were for Godspell at The New Wolsey Theatre June 2004.
Michael Ryles took part in the evening's entertainment with Harry Waller (Godspell Choir), Hannah Lloyd (Guys & Dolls cast) and several other young performers from local companies; Jo Reeder (Guys & Dolls Cast) choreographed the entertainment assisted by Jane Robinson (Guys & Dolls cast). It was an excellent display of the talent of the future.
The main event was obviously the awards and they were entertainingly distributed by Helen McDermott, assisted by many of the sponsors and their representatives. John Whelton and Richard Healey collected the award for Best Musical and Sound on behalf of the Godspell cast, crew and production team.
In addition John Whelton was named the dream Panto Musical Director for his involvement in Humpty Dumpty at the Spa Pavilion this Christmas.
The awards were great fun and the evening was a lovely chance to meet people from other local groups. Many thanks go out to the ESTAA team who once again provided an excellent evening out.
