BIO
Daniel May is over the moon to be returning to Broadway after many years away in Maybe Happy Ending. Daniel made his Broadway debut in the 2002 revival of Flower Drum Song starring Lea Salonga and has been working as a theater artist his whole life. Most recently Daniel played the lead role of “Xūe Xíng” in a newly envisioned production of David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori’s Soft Power at Signature Theatre and has been with the piece since the world premiere in Los Angeles at Center Theater Group and then The Public Theater here in NYC which received nominations for both the Pulitzer Prize for drama and Grammy Award in 2020. As a South Korean born adoptee, getting to be a part of this beautiful story means so much! Thank you to Michael Arden and the whole MHE fam for this incredible gift. This one is dedicated to his newly married husband Mateo. Thank you for encouraging me to never give up on my dreams! Follow me @danielmayofficial
