Happy Days review
(Hull: Jan 2014)
I saw a
documentary about the casting process for this show, and thought the show would
be ok. Unfortunately the documentary was far more entertaining than the actual
show.
The main
problem was that Ben Freeman, who played The Fonz had the charisma of a tea
pot. Fonzie is meant to be a really cool guy, rather like James Dean, but Ben
Freeman was about as cool as wee Jimmy Krankie.
Because the
main character was poor, the whole production suffered. The music was pretty unmemorable;
there was no humour, and no emotional contact whatsoever.
Heidi Range
wasn’t bad in the show, but Cheryl Baker was just embarrassing.
At least I
only paid £15 for my ticket.
Don’t waste
your time on this show, unless they hire someone else to play The Fonz.
4/10
