From 31 March to 5 April, the new musical Happy Days will be at the New Victoria Theatre, Woking. To celebrate its arrival, the company is linking up with local charity White Lodge Centre to raise awareness and much needed funds.

White Lodge Centre supports disabled children, young people and adults, families and carers in Surrey and the surrounding area, specialising in care for those with a diverse range of disabilities.

Jane Cartwright, Community Fundraiser, said, "We are absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity to be involved with New Victoria Theatre and Happy Days".

The show stars Heide Range as Pinky Tuscadero, Cheryl Baker as Mrs Cunningham and Ben Freeman as The Fonz.

Directed and choreographed by Olivier Award nominee Andrew Wright, the show is written by Garry Marshall, creator of the television series. Henry Winkler, the Fonz from the television series, has served as creative consultant, working alongside the director in creating the 'Happy Days' world of 1959 America and guiding the cast in creating their characters.

There is also a special ticket offer available to charity staff and supporters to let them enjoy an evening at the theatre and bucket collections will take place during some performances to help the Centre continue their great work.
