Have you heard the title of the new Broadway musical "Maybe Happy Ending" and thought, "Hmmm, what's that about?" Look no further than our latest episode.
Written by Broadway newcomers Will Aronson and Hue Park, "Maybe Happy Ending" takes audiences to the future in Seoul, South Korea. It's the age of Helperbots (think a high-tech version of Rosie from "The Jetsons"), and Helperbots Oliver and Claire are now living in the retired Helperbot yards, having become outdated models. When Claire knocks on Oliver's door, an unlikely friendship begins. They take off on an adventure through Seoul and, maybe, even fall in love.
Here, host Ruthie Fierberg speaks with stars Emmy Award winner Darren Criss and Helen J Shen and their castmates Marcus Choi and Dez Duron. She also interviews writers Will and Hue and Tony-winning director Michael Arden.
The production has released five songs from the completely original score. Listen to this episode for snippets, or hear the full songs here.
"Maybe Happy Ending" is currently playing at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway. Visit the show's website for tickets and more information.
