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.

This show is beyond amazing. So original and beautiful. Definitely one of the best I've ever seen. I'm hoping Dead Outlaw comes out next season so it can win Best Musical and Actor. Darren Criss is perfection.

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

Yeah I hope it means they have some confidence that they aren't posting a notice anytime soon. I am headed back in May and am really hoping this will still be around then, though I am not super hopeful

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

Does anyone know why the side Mezz Row B are so much cheaper than the row ahead and behind? Guessing it has something to do with the bar?

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?

Maybe that Row B pricing is just weird to me

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 won the lotto late last month and was in the Orchestra. Left side, Row K, Seat 23 and was labeled as 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 think it’s way more hummable than anything that premiered last year

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)

I won this exact same seat doing the lotto for last Tuesday. It was definitely partial view, but I'd rather have an orchestra seat than balcony so I was ok with it.

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

Part of the marketing strategy.

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’m hoping for a cast recording too as the songs have been stuck in my head. Criss and Shen are the heart of the story, but I loved Duron’s crooner moments too.

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...

Criss/Shen scheduled for Seth Meyers tonight.

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.

I saw this show this past weekend and was really touched by it - moved, even. It's a sweet story that is easy enough to watch, simple enough to find a way to relate to, and clips along at a great pace.

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