Maybe Happy Ending is a Broadway musical playing at the Belasco Theatre that tells a gentle, imaginative story centered on Oliver, a retired HelperBot living alone in a small Seoul apartment. According to Playbill, Oliver’s quiet routine changes when he meets his neighbor Claire, another outdated robot, after a simple request for a battery charger sparks an unexpected connection. As their relationship develops, the show explores themes of companionship, memory, and what it means to find purpose after being deemed obsolete. Created by Will Aronson and Hue Park, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, and directed by Michael Arden, the production blends warmth and whimsy with emotional depth. Featuring Darren Criss as Oliver and Helen J. Shen as Claire, Maybe Happy Ending offers a heartfelt and original take on love and connection through a futuristic yet deeply human lens.
