The Fonz

     in Happy Days - A New Musical

- First National Tour, Goodspeed Opera, Papermill Playhouse -

โ€œJoey Sorge nails the showโ€™s most iconic character. At certain angles, heโ€™s a dead Joey Sorge ringer for Winkler. More importantly, he captures the nuances that made Fonzie so irresistible โ€” the cocked eyebrows, the stern glance, the confident stance, the chaos-halting snap, and the charming smile that escapes his cool reserve.โ€

— Stu on Broadway
โ€œSorgeโ€™s Fonz comes straight from Henry Winkler, from the finger-snapping and โ€œWoahsโ€ right down to just about every inflection. Close your eyes a bit and you could be fooled. Itโ€™s his presence that really makes the show a pleasant escape to another time.โ€
— Roger Bull of Jacksonville.com
โ€œ Sorge re-creates the Fonz with the perfect balance of conceit and black-leather-jacket brawn and humor.โ€
— Variety
โ€œThe supertalented Sorge gets the star-making role he was
born to play. Sorge captures all the quirky macho charm and appeal of Henry Winklerโ€™s TV original and adds to that his own leading man handsomeness, sex appeal, and song-and-dance dazzle.โ€
— Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA.com
โ€œWhile Sorge has the advantage of looking a lot like Henry Winkler, who played the original Fonz, he goes far beyond mere imitation. He has definitely caught the spirit of the role. Not one move or word is out of place, yet his performance is spirited and funny.โ€
— Jane Holahan, Lancaster New Era
โ€œMr. Sorge nails the characterโ€™s voice and body language in โ€œHappy Days: A New Musical.โ€ More important, he exudes the characterโ€™s amiable self-satisfaction with just a touch of vulnerability.โ€
