How to Watch Happiness
Happiness is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
♪ My name is Henry Auva'a, and I play Connor.
I'm Marshayla Christie and I play Gloria.
Have you had any professional training?
I've got my electrical license.
Connor's idea of happiness is just being in a space where he can express himself.
♪ Falling for you ♪ ♪ I will wait for you ♪ Gloria is at her happiest when her music comes to life.
♪ I am fighting for you ♪ It's wonderful.
I'm an electrician who can't even wire up a smoke machine.
Watch your hand there are nails.
Look it's all healed, see.
♪ I can't do this.
I knew it.
It's Jacqui James from Jacqui James real estate.
There's definitely parts of myself that I have to dial right up to play Jacqui James.
And other parts that I have to dial right down, like sassiness and gumption.
Dial that right up.
Sorry I'm late.
Darling.
Open home.
She's a leading real estate agent Always a lead role in Pizazz shows.
And Adrian puts her in those roles every time.
There's no doubt in their minds.
I described her as the Meryl Streep of Tauranga.
♪ Won't you be my Troy, boy ♪ ♪ Not some typical toy, boy ♪ ♪ I don't have an aversion to a Greek guy or a Persian ♪ ♪ I just want someone to enjoy ♪ ♪ So will you be my Troy, boy ♪ ♪ What could possibly go wrong ♪ ♪ Fabulous!
[Clapping] ♪
