“Every piece of this production is perfection.”
“That we nonrobots also connect, pair and empower one another to share a too-brief lifetime is the surprising double vision that makes “Maybe Happy Ending” a ravishing addition to the catalog of Broadway nerdicals.”
“Instead, it is utterly enchanting.”
“'Ending’ is a one-act meditation on love, loss, mortality, and moral responsibility for the digital age delivered with a mix of sharp humor, poignance, and sheer imagination that’s nothing short of breathtaking.”

Typical VenueThe Belasco Theatre offers stunning ambiance with its historic Tiffany lamps and stained-glass ceiling, but suffers from tight legroom typical of older venues. While sound quality is generally good, sightlines can be inconsistent, especially from side orchestra seats.
