Broadway-Aimed Musical ‘Get Happy’ Starring Corbin Bleu And Stephanie Styles Sets Industry Reading
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Corbin Bleu and Stephanie Styles will headline a private industry reading in January of the Broadway-aimed musical comedy Get Happy, a new stage adaptation of the MGM film classic Summer Stock.
The invitation-only reading will be held on January 17 in New York City, according to producers Steve Peters and Michael Londra of VenuWorks Theatricals, Greg & Marissa Frankenfield of Excelsior Entertainment, and executive producers Carolyn Rossi Copeland and Nancy Nagel Gibbs.
Get Happy is produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. The musical premiered last year under the title Summer Stock in a well-reviewed and sold-out run at Connecticut’s Goodspeed Musicals.
Featuring a book and additional lyrics by four-time Emmy Award winner Cheri Steinkellner (Cheers, Broadway’s Sister Act the Musical), Get Happy includes many of the film’s famous songs such as “You, Wonderful You,” “Dig for Your Dinner,” “Happy Harvest,” and the title song, which became one of star Judy Garland’s signature tunes.
