Back in the summer of 1999 after a London theatre workshop
adaptation of Happy Days caught the attention of the Australian promoter Paul
Dainty, it was announced that Dainty and collaborator David Ian would be
bringing Happy Days: The Arena Mega Musical to a handful of Australian cities.
And in stark contrast to the “Dainty” name, it would prove to be a massive,
elaborate production, with more than 70 performers taking the stage. The Happy
Days touring show wasn’t short on star power, either. Along with a cast of
rising musical theatre standouts Jon Stevens, Jo Beth Taylor, Doug Parkinson, and
Craig McLachlan as The Fonz Maybe the biggest fish Dainty managed to pull for
the tour, however, was one of Australia’s most popular young boy bands of the
day, Human Nature who played a fictional Doo Wop group called “The Naturals,”
adding their talents to the show’s compilation of classic rock n’ roll oldies
like “Great Balls of Fire,” “Shake Rattle and Roll,” and “Why Do Fools Fall in
Love?” The soundtrack album here for you to download was released on Sony
Records (4966782) in 1999. Flac
