Happy New Year (musical)
''Happy New Year'' is a musical with a book by Burt Shevelove and music and lyrics by Cole Porter.
Based on Philip Barry's comic 1928 play ''Holiday'' and its subsequent 1930 film adaptation and better known 1938 remake, it focuses on hedonistic young Wall Street attorney Johnny Case who, driven by his passion to live life as a holiday, contemplates abandoning his career for a carefree existence by marrying wealthy upper class Julia Seton.
==History==
Porter successfully had transformed Barry's ''The Philadelphia Story'' into the musical film ''High Society'', so Shevelove pored through the composer's catalogue in search of tunes that would fit ''Holidays plot. When the show previewed at the Stratford Festival in Canada, the score consisted of lesser-known Porter songs, and Shevelove decided to eliminate most of them in favor of music more familiar to audiences. He also opted to replace much of Barry's original repartee with songs that suited neither the characters nor the situations, and replaced the gaps with a narrator whose purpose was to explain what was missing from the plot, a device that ultimately proved to be clumsy and confusing.
