        I saw the production of Happy Days at ASU Gammage in Tempe, AZ tonight. It was very well done. The Fonz was perfectly done. Pinky had a fantastic voice. Marion was a great character. The actors playing the Malachi brothers were terrific. They played the Malachi brothers and a few other roles which created some of the best scenes in the show. This shows has dancing, comedy, and great musical performances. There is a plot, but nothing too serious. I had alot of fun and felt great when I left. Collapse

        Colorful and fun, my daughter and I had a great time. The cast really seems to be excited about the play and the male lead was perfect.

        Based on the popular movies, 'High School Musical' brought Disney alive and became even more famous when all the girls saw Zac Efron. Any way, I decided to go see it Live at no where else than the ASU Gammage. It sucked. The acting was not even funny. It was horrible. The singing was okay, but Troy and Gabriella sounded a little pitchy. The set, whoa! That set was so ugly I seriously felt like going up on that stage and kicking it down! Any way, do not see this show. Collapse

        Johnny was sensational. His voice and songs trancend time. He appears shy and doesn't engage the audience, but who cares? The comedian was also terrific. A wonderful evening.

        I see a lot of shows, and this is by far the BEST thing I have seen! If you go to one show a year, Go to this one. The cast was amazing. We had an understudy for Frankie, and he was the best live performer I have seen in any show. The set was very simplistic, but fitting. The catwalk and the mesh fence added the perfect touch. This is a show just about anyone from ages 14-100 would enjoy. GO SEE IT! Collapse

        I'm not a big fan of the live arts performances and got dragged to this show by my wife, but I have to say, I found it very entertaining during the whole show. On top of that, Paige is a very attractive woman as well as many others in the show. I might have to check out some of these shows more often. Collapse
