The Most Happy Fella at North Coast Repertory Theatre

SOLANA BEACH, Calif. - EntSun -- Come see what makes this fella so happy! North Coast Repertory Theatre presents The Most Happy Fella, a new intimate version of Frank Loesser's lush, romantic musical masterpiece — filled with soaring melodies, tender ballads, and vibrant Broadway showstoppers that paint a rich emotional landscape. Set against the sun-drenched vineyards of California's Napa Valley, this passionate tale of unexpected love weaves together unforgettable characters with one of musical theatre's most ambitious and breathtaking scores. All by Broadway's famed Pulitzer Prize-winning Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls). This sweeping, heartfelt classic radiates with the timeless message that true love sees beyond outward appearances to the real beauty within. One of the most powerful love stories ever sung about love, truth, and forgiveness.

"A work in which you can hear the sound of a man's heart singing, openly and unabashedly." — New York Times

"The Most Happy Fella is one of the greatest musicals ever. Or one of the greatest operas. Hell, it's just great." — Vulture
