Brilliant on many different levels
"I did not expect how the bots programming would be so individually based, suggesting how their respective owners could leave such a "legacy" to their now former bots, over a dozen years later."

Charming, Funny and Refreshing
"The commentary on the rush for technology and our need to continue to upgrade our experience is insightful and human. Set was amazing - loved it. We had a packed day and appreciated the shorter time to get the opportunity to see a show and hit all of our other commitments that day!"

It’s the journey, not the destination
"I really debated seeing this show as it sounded very different for a broadway show and I wasn’t sure it was going to work. I still felt that way a few minutes into the show. But just a few minutes later, it just clicked. Very original. Very entertaining. And a great message!"

Absolutely Delightful
"My husband and I took our son (14) and daughter (10) to see this show as their first Broadway musical and to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. We all completely adored the show, with its honesty, sweetness, and super talented cast. Our daughter occasionally has trouble sitting still for long periods of time, and she was absolutely captivated for the entirety of the 1hr40min show. I would say that much younger than 10 might not fully grasp the story, and there is one scene that will likely go over the heads of younger children but does skirt around a more mature subject, but otherwise, it's just this lovely little nugget of a show that makes you think without hitting you over the head with anything. We highly recommend it."

Interesting story and amazing stage management
"Maybe Happy Ending is an absolute gem! We loved every minute of this show. It’s beautifully written, charming, funny, and incredibly heartwarming. The story is unique and touching, and the performances are simply outstanding.
The stage management was incredible—the timing, transitions, choreography, lighting, and technical execution were seamless. Everything came together so beautifully that you could truly appreciate the incredible amount of talent and precision behind the scenes.
What surprised me most was how deeply emotional the show became while still being light, funny, and entertaining. The music, staging, and overall production are beautiful, and there’s something genuinely special about the way it makes you think about love, connection, and what it means to be human.
I left the theater with a big smile and a warm heart. Highly recommended—don’t miss this wonderful show"

Crying and Laughing all the way home
"This is a great play. It contains only four actors, but all are amazing. It is a tremendous story of finding love using robots to teach us humans what love is all about. In addition to the great actors is an amazing, innovative set design. The producers use the set to compliment this love story in interesting ways that add to the futuristic aspects of the play. Great job! I will be telling all my friends. "
