About the "Maybe Happy Ending" Stage Show
Overview: Maybe Happy Ending (Original Broadway Cast Recording).
The Broadway cast recording of Maybe Happy Ending sings with both melancholy and warmth. Released digitally on March 14, 2025, this 27-track album echoes through a near-future Seoul where memory, music, and machine meet. Darren Criss voices Oliver, a quiet Helperbot with a love for jazz and solitude. Helen J. Shen joins him as Claire, a fellow robot whose malfunctioning charger sparks their fragile, flickering bond.
An Intimate Soundscape of Synthetic Souls.
This album captures not just the plot, but the heartbeat. It’s not just a show—it breathes.
- “Why Love” by Dez Duron opens the show with a question that lingers.
- “World Within My Room” paints Oliver’s solitude in soft, aching tones.
- “Then I Can Let You Go” serves as the emotional climax, sung in harmony by Criss, Shen, and Duron.
- Instrumentals like "Touch Sequence" and "Charger Exchange Ballet" elevate the sonic texture.
The music, composed by Will Aronson with lyrics by Hue Park, balances futuristic whimsy and heartache. The orchestrations are full-bodied, layered with digital motifs and acoustic flourishes. The recording acts not only as a companion to the live show, but as a standalone story—one you can hear even if you’ve never seen the lights of the Belasco Theatre.
Beyond Broadway.
A physical CD arrives May 16, 2025. Vinyl fans can expect a limited-edition pressing by June 13, 2025. These formats echo the nostalgia that pulses beneath the musical’s chrome surface.
This isn’t just about two robots falling in love. It’s about what remains when the warranty expires, and the world moves on.
