Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Darren Criss (American Buffalo, Little Shop of Horrors, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”) will return to the stage alongside Helen J Shen (The Lonely Few, Teeth) in the Broadway premiere of the new romantic musical comedy MAYBE HAPPY ENDING with music by Will Aronson, lyrics by Hue Park and book by both Aronson and Park. Direction is by Tony Award-winner Michael Arden (Parade, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Once on this Island). MAYBE HAPPY ENDING will also feature Dez Duron (NBC’s “The Voice”) who makes his Broadway debut along with Shen, and Marcus Choi (Wicked, Flower Drum Song).   

 

Inside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, Oliver (Criss) 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 (Shen) asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even...love? Winner of the Richard Rodgers Award, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING  is the offbeat and captivating story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who discover that even robots can be swept off their feet.
