BWW Review: MAYBE HAPPY ENDING at Alliance Theatre
by Amy Zipperer - February 02, 2020
There's something wonderful on the Coca-Cola stage at the Alliance Theatre this February. It's the English-language premiere of the Korean musical Maybe Happy Ending, a fresh and quirky tuner by Will Aronson and Hue Park that made its celebrated world premiere in Seoul, South Korea in 2016 and went on to win six Korean musical awards as well as the 2017 Richard Rodgers Production Award. The Alliance Theatre's English-language production, superior in every aspect, continues the celebration in grand style. With sleek and effective set design by Dane Laffrey and wonderfully sensitive acting, the musical, which masquerades as a cute story about robots, is, in truth, a heartbreaking exploration of the fleeting nature of love.
