\t\t<\/p>\n 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<\/em><\/strong> as soon as you can.<\/p>\n Darren Criss<\/strong><\/a> and Helen J. Shen<\/strong><\/a> lead the brand new musical, which celebrated its gala performance on Monday night (November 11) in New York City.<\/p>\n The two lead actors walked the red carpet with co-stars Dez Duron<\/strong><\/a> and Marcus Choi<\/strong><\/a>, as well as director Michael Arden<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cPeople are always like, \u2018There\u2019s no one creating original things,\u2019\u201d Darren <\/strong>told Broadway.com<\/a>. \u201cThey are. It\u2019s just really, really hard to produce them because you really have to believe in something hard enough to be OK with the risk.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis show is very technologically advanced. I think it\u2019s kind of the ace in the hole that people aren\u2019t expecting,\u201d he said, adding that it\u2019s \u201ca big-a** mother**king spectacle.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the synopsis: \u201cInside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, Oliver (Criss<\/strong>) lives a happily quiet life listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you\u2019re a HelperBot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow HelperBot neighbor Claire (Shen<\/strong>) asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even\u2026love?\u201d<\/p>\n
