Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
In Maybe Happy Ending, audiences are in for a treat as the narrative cleverly intertwines the everyday with the extraordinary. This delightful show captures the whimsical beauty of an unconventional friendship blossoming in the digital age, even among robots. The musical brings up rich themes of connection, self-discovery, and the unexpected turns life can take.
The idea for the show was born back in 2014 when Hue Park found himself in a Brooklyn coffee shop, where a song playing softly in the background sparked something profound. The song was "Everyday Robots" by Damon Albarn, and a particular line struck a chord: "We are everyday robots in the process of getting home." This lyric stirred Park’s imagination, painting a world where 'robots with human-like appearances and emotions are abandoned and live lonely lives alone.' This was the beginning of a critically acclaimed show that originally premiered in Seoul in 2016. Flash forward to today, and that spark has blossomed into the English production of Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway, which opened its doors at the Belasco Theatre on November 12, 2024. This beautifully imagined storyline merges Park’s introspective musings with dynamic performances.
