Maybe Happy Ending stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Darren Criss (American Buffalo, Little Shop of Horrors, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), Helen J Shen (The Lonely Few, Teeth), Dez Duron (NBC’s The Voice) and Marcus Choi (Wicked, Flower Drum Song). The cast also includes Steven Huynh (Blue Bloods, CBS), Hannah Kevitt (Back to the Future), Daniel May (Flower Drum Song, Soft Power, Signature Theatre), Christopher James Tamayo (Les Miserables), and Claire Kwon (Almost Famous) who round out the production as the understudies at the Belasco Theatre.
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.
