Maybe Happy Ending

Belasco Theatre, 111 W 44th St · New York City, NY

Why you should go…

Maybe Happy Ending is an original musical by Will Aronson and Hue Park, set in the near future in the Seoul area. Two retired helper robots, Oliver and Claire, meet by chance in an apartment building for abandoned bots and set off on a road trip that asks what it means to be human. It opened at the Belasco Theatre on West 44th Street in November 2024 and won six Tony Awards, including the prize for the season's top new musical.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
