Want to be Happy
This number was not in the orig

FraZee senses that the audience
found something lacking. After the
performance he summoned Vincent

audience wanted a happier, Zippier
number than the one then being
sung, entitled Santa Claus. That
night Mr.. Youmans composed the
Happy song. on an idea given him
by Mr.. F'raZee, and the next morning
it went into rehearsal. During re-
hearsals this number was sung
straight. In fact, no one had any
idea there was such possibility of
developing it into the classic of inn
propptu comedy it has since be-
come.
The first night Happy was sung
as part of the show. the audience
whose decisions are paramount
indicated the travesty possibilities
of the number. They liked the song
