Maybe Happy Ending

Maybe Happy Ending is a touring Broadway production that comes to the National Theatre following its acclaimed New York run. Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, this original musical tells the deeply human story of a chance encounter between two beings who discover connection, adventure, and perhaps love—even though they are not human. Directed by Tony Award-winning Michael Arden (Parade), the production has been hailed by critics as “astonishing,” “joyful, heartbreaking, cutting edge,” and “one of the best musicals in years.” Audiences are invited to experience a touching and inventive adventure that explores what it truly means to be human.
