About Maybe Happy Ending
Maybe Happy Ending stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Darren Criss, Helen J Shen, Dez Duron, and Marcus Choi. The cast also includes: Steven Huynh, Daniel May, Christopher James Tamayo, and Claire Kwon who round out the production as the understudies.
The Richard Rodgers Award-winning musical is helmed by Tony winner Michael Arden, features an innovative scenic design by Dane Laffrey, and book, music, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park.
What's it all about? Inside a one-room apartment in the heart of Seoul, Oliver lives a happily quiet life listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a Helperbot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helperbot neighbor Claire asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even…love?
Long before Broadway, the one-act musical had its world premiere in Seoul, South Korea at Lifeway Hall in DCF Daemyung Cultural Factory in 2016. Since then it has gone on to play in Japan, China, and Atlanta. It won the Korean Musical Award – Musical of the Year in 2019. The show was written in both Korean and English and was originally titled What I Learned From People. Both versions were performed in New York City in a workshop in 2016 as a part of the Wooran Cultural Foundation's first overseas development project.
