ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
"Although a small cast, this show was totally different and delightful. The two main singers/actors we ideal for their roles. Then again, we love Darren Criss in everything he does. The set design appeared simple in the beginning but loved it as it played out. How creative. It's one of the shows we'd consider going back to. Hurry to this production! "

Wow! This show beat all expectations.
"The show was so good. It’s amazing to go to a Broadway show that is basically two actors carrying the whole thing. The male lead did such a great job acting as a robot transforming. Both leads sang very well, and the lyrics were spot on. The stage craft (how did they do that????) really knocked the show out of the park. I would go again!!"

Pay Attention to the Ending....
" Maybe Happy Ending is a delightful new musical with phenomenal talent, music and set design. The audience gets swept up into the world of the HelperBots (robots) and a love story unfolds even though it isn't supposed to be possible! It is funny yet poignant. REMEMBER..... pay close attention to the ending!!"

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 Helper-Bot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helper-Bot 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?
