Cast Set For Ronnie Larsen's HAPPY ENDING at Waterloo East Theatre
The production opens on 30 September, with previews from 27 September, and runs until 26 October.
Producer Adam Roebuck has announced the cast for Ronnie Larsen's Happy Ending. Ronnie Larsen directs Jimmy Essex (Andrew) and Billy Walker (Mr Miller). After sell-out seasons in the US, the acclaimed play will transfer to Waterloo East Theatre for a strictly limited 4-week run. The production opens on 30 September, with previews from 27 September, and runs until 26 October.
Ronnie Larsen's Happy Ending invites audiences into the private world of Andy, a gay massage therapist whose routine is upended by the arrival of an unexpected client. This provocative comedy-thriller unpacks all in an encounter where nothing is quite as it seems.
Mr. Miller, a seemingly straight Trump supporter with a mysterious agenda. As the session unfolds, tensions rise, secrets surface, and what begins as a routine appointment spirals into something far more unpredictable.
Packed with razor-sharp wit, provocative twists, and a seductive dose of suspense, Happy Ending keeps you guessing until the very last moment— because every good massage includes a happy ending... or does it?
