About Maybe Happy 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?

Fun, sweet, made me laugh
"This show has clever humor and a good heart. It made me think about my goals and priorities. Life is short, and we only get one shot at it. My best friend from my hometown is Korean-American and she'd better get her butt to NYC to see this."

Heartfelt, funny, touching
"I knew I had to see this after I recently lost my husband. We loved theater and I heard about the show on CBS Morning Show which we always watched Sunday mornings. Needless to say I cried, but laughed too. Amazing performances, story, and set design! Thank you for creating this heartfelt, touching show. "

MUST SEE ORIGINAL SHOW--storytelling at it's finest!
"It has been 13 years since I have been to New York, and I was having trouble choosing what shows to go see. I remembered how I had heard nothing but good things about this show, and now I completely understand why! Every. Single. Aspect. of this show was STUNNING! Sitting here writing this review, I cannot decide on a singular aspect to focus on because every single piece of this show, from tip to tail, works gloriously and harmoniously together to create BEAUTIFUL ART and tell a WONDERFUL STORY! This immensely touching commentary on love and the beauty of life is a MUST SEE!! I am so so so happy that Maybe Happy Ending was my partner's first Broadway show experience (and he has said the same repeatedly)! This show is theatre at its finest. GO SEE IT!!!!! "

A sweet story that reminds you to reflect on life
"The story provides an existential reflection about the arc of life told in accessible, feel-good way that is by turns, sweet, sad, wonderful. The production is amazingly innovative! The actors were great! The musical score is not overpowering, but neither is the music really memorable - it creates a vibe rather than providing you with tunes you can carry with you out of the theatre. The Belasco is beautiful and provides a special intimacy. It was a wonderful, memorable experience."

A wonderful surprise…
"Went to see this play understanding only 2 things: 1. It was about retired robots and 2. It got really good reviews in both WSJ AND the NYT. The play, a metaphor for life, was both funny and sad …and was brilliantly staged. The acting was great (We saw the “ premiere broadway performance” of the young male understudy. He did a great job. ) Worth the trip to NYC. "

Robotic Romance- Nothing Programmed Here!
"This was mind-flowingly creative! Skeptical at first, I was enthralled from the opening curtain-- the set design, eccentric plot, superb songs. It was one of my favorite musicals ever; a true delight in every way!"

"SO well done. Everything worked. The acting, the storytelling and the songs! I found myself mesmerized with Darren. He never broke character. I walked away feeling how important it is to love life since we truly never really know how long our batteries will last. "

Our new favorite show!
"I surprised my daughter with tickets to this show for her 18th birthday. We had 5th row because we are huge Darren Criss fans, but his talent is so well matched with all three of the other performers. It is incredibly well-written, has the most phenomenal (even cutting edge) moving stage, the costumes, set, everything is Perfection. You literally lose yourself in the plot, are transported to another world, and it is all so unreal yet seems so inexplicably real. I would see it over and over again if I lived here. The singing and acting is beyond Fantastic! I could go on and on... It is as simple as a play with music yet the talent, set, writing and music take it way beyond big ensemble stage productions. There is nothing else like it!"

Futuristic love story/comedy
"Characters were so right for their role, especially the smooth singing voice of Dez Duron! The use of lights to make computer screens was key."
