If you think Broadway is all jukebox musicals, movie adaptations, or revivals of classic shows, get yourself to the Belasco Theatre to see the fully original show Maybe Happy Ending as soon as you can. Darren Criss and Helen J. Shen lead the brand new musical, which celebrated its gala performance on Monday night (November 11) in New York City.
The two lead actors walked the red carpet with co-stars Dez Duron and Marcus Choi , as well as director Michael Arden . “People are always like, ‘There’s no one creating original things,’” Darren told Broadway.com .
“They are. It’s just really, really hard to produce them because you really have to believe in something hard enough to be OK with the risk.” “This show is very technologically advanced.
I think it’s kind of the ace in the hole that people aren’t expecting,” he said, adding that it’s “a big-a** mother**king spectacle.” Here’s the synopsis: “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?” Get your tickets now!.
