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. "

Unexpected unique excellence!
"Besides everything being perfect, it was also extremely clean with no profanity at all. That in itself makes it a unique musical. The story was so original. The singers were amazingly on pitch throughout the entire show. The band was great. What more can I say? It was one of the best shows we have ever seen."

Great original idea for a play
"This play was inventive, and had a good plot. Kleenex might be helpful. The characters pulled you in. You become emotionally invested in what is going on through the play. The music fits the action . Loved the acting. Would see again. "

Maybe Happy Ending, absolutely!
"We loved the show, the story and the music. As a retired stagehand my husband was impressed with the visual aspects, the clarity of the sound and the actors did a wonderful job keeping in character the entire time in a beautiful way. As a wardrobe dresser I loved the story and music as well, the “Barbie Dollhouse” effect and automation and transition between scenes was seemless. We left with a “happy ending” feeling. A must see musical!"

Absolutely scintillating!
"What a well rounded spectacle. Story, sets, acting, direction, everything falls into its place. Concept is quite timely, exploring complex emotions with a child like innocence. Acting was powerful yet not over the top. Especially Claire's character was played quite subtly. The back and forth never felt stretched and only contributed to moving their relationship forward. Ending was perfect, with enough to interpret. Truly magnificent Broadway value."

Excellent Futuristic Storyline, Staging and Acting
"Having not researched Maybe Happy Ending before attending the play, we weren't sure what to expect. But the buzz about this great new play drew us to find out. We were thoroughly impressed with the staging, the wonderful actors, and premise (once we understood). The subject matter is very thought provoking and was wonderful entertainment. Because of the adult themes, I wouldn't recommend for those under teenage years (not that anything is offensive, but they just wouldn't get it)."

A Robot Led Emotional Journey
"A well contrived journey with two robots through their emotional awakening and growing relationship as it blossoms into love. This was a creative story that was beautifully written and performed. The story includes two very likable main characters with different personalities who quickly bond with the audience which laughed, sighed and even cried along the way. The music was cute, accurate and easy to hear every word, unlike most musicals. The set was very technical and elegant in a robot way. Without an intermission, the story had to move along and it did so with surprises in the story and with the help of come to life 33 rpm albums. A fantastic ride for anyone who has fallen in love and those who experience or contemplate loss of a loved one. "

Great Anniversary Show
"My wife and I absolutely loved Maybe Happy Ending. The storyline was unlike anything we've seen before—creative, heartfelt, and incredibly well written.

Awesomeness
"I’m not really a Broadway fan, in fact my wife insisted we see a show. What a terrific surprise. I loved the story. Exceptionally timely. Brilliantly acted. The “crooner” has the voice of Sinatra! I highly recommend this show especially for those who are not generally “Broadway” fans."
