MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews — Page 12

I saw Maybe Happy Ending tonight and thought it was absolutely charming. Darren's acting is so impressive; he really sells it. I hope we see more of Helen after this show, as well. The set serves the story really well. The music is not so 'hummable' but also fit the story. The audience was very enthusiastic for a Tuesday night, and the mezz seemed to be sold out. I hope it finds its audience and sticks it out through the winter and spring. 

I'll assume this is a good sign, but they released a new block of tickets through September 2025.

Maybe an angel investor has come in to carry them through awards season, then the possible Tony bounce could mean a good summer?

This show is staged in smaller "boxes," in the middle of the stage. I was in the orchestra and a bit to the side and felt the edges of the set were blocking my view at times. This theatre almost felt too big for the way it was staged. Maybe that's why those seats are cheaper?

For those who have won the lottery for this show, where were your seats? Are they primarily balcony or other locations that are considered Partial View?

I had lotto seats for this past Wednesday's matinee and they were Orchestra Row C 12-14. Absolutely partial view, more like minimal view honestly. When Oliver's apartment was in the center all I could see was the door. I made it about five minutes before I moved to standing room for the rest of the show.

I won lotto on Tuesday 11/26 and was given seats right balcony row B seats 10 and 12. Not listed as partial view. When I did in person rush last week of previews I was given center balcony row J (last row) seat 101. Not listed as partial view either. I thought the view would be bad so I asked to stand but they didn’t let me, saying they didn’t allow standing yet but it seems they have opened it up this week. The view from last row balcony actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely had to lean though, but I was so enthralled with what was going on on stage that I sort of naturally sat in that position regardless (last row so no one behind me, so didn’t have to worry about blocking others)

It might be a good sign but is it a good idea? They need to be focusing on short-term cash-flow right now...

Saw this today and absolutely loved it. I’ll see anything Michael Arden directs at this point because it’s all truly spectacular, but loved this show a ton. Criss and Shen are both great. Hoping for a cast recording soon to revisit the score.

I got a mailer for this show today, but it's only good for performances through next Sunday 12/22. Not the best long-term strategy...

If it’s the HAPPYMAIL flier then it’s valid for all performances through May 25 with Xmas week being the only exception. Just have to book using the code by Jan 5."

 

Mailer I received today says the code must be used by 12/22.
