I appreciate your input. This was our first time seeing it. Boston reviews were kinder than the one NYC review I've seen. Not sure if that is significant or not.
After I posted above, I started to figure out the worst I've seen. That award has to go to the one starring Lea Delaria. I'll let you imagine what that was like, but it actually won't take a lot of imagination.
No, not a good image, but Lea Delaria in Happy Days couldn't be nearly as bad as Lea Delaria as Vera Charles in Mame (Maim?) at Bucks County Playhouse a couple years ago.
Lea DeLaria was utterly awful in every way in HAPPY DAYS. To boot went up many times the night I saw the show. With the exception of her fine performance in ON THE TOWN, I've never understood her appeal, really.
I do like this play quite a lot, but I've never found Brooke Adams to be a terribly interesting actor. So I've been avoiding this production unless someone can give me a reason not to.
