Watch Now: Darren Criss & Helen J Shen in Maybe Happy Ending Music Video

Darren Criss returns to Broadway this fall in the new musical Maybe Happy Ending alongside rising star Helen J Shen, who is making her Broadway debut. Watch the newly released music video of the song “When You’re in Love,” performed by Criss and Shen and written by Will Aronson and Hue Park, from the upcoming musical.

The new musical, directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade), will begin previews at the Belasco Theatre on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, and officially open on Thursday, October 17, 2024. Tickets are now on sale.

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. Helmed by visionary director and Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade, Once on This Island), with a dazzling scenic design by Dane Laffrey (A Christmas Carol) and book, music, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park, Maybe Happy Ending is a fresh, original musical about the small things that make any life worth living.
