Happiness Adore!
In a short season of revivals and depressing/overly thoughtful dramas - we have a way to rise above, both musically and spiritually. The premise of the show insists that humanity take stock of where theyve been - yet seek out that happiest spot. Weve forgotten to remind ourselves of that, and everybody Ive asked since responded positively taking stock of their happy memories. Hunter, as always, is a dream - in charge of dreams. Can I get a daily subscription to this show?

Absolutely adored the show
Happiness was a joy to behold. What is wrong with some cliche. Is it a cliche to watch an uplifting,compassionate, inspiring piece. I think not. My husband and I left the theater smiling from ear to ear and plan to see it again with our two college age daughters. Bravo Susan Strohman and the entire company of "Happiness"

For a sweet little fable about the need to seize the day and savor each moment, the new musical
Happiness at Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theater sure packs a lot of pizzazz. It's the product of a dream team: book by John Weidman, music by Scott Frankel and lyrics by Michael Korie (of Grey Gardens), and direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Susan Stroman. While the foremost pitfall of an exercise of this sort, beyond miniaturizing major themes, is the tendency to sappiness, the creators and their superb cast skirt both dangers with unceasing snap and polish.
The opening scene quickly segues from Zack, a young lawyer (Sebastian Arcelus) powering up for "make or break" day in co[...]
