“Maybe Happy Ending” has been nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical for Will Aronson and Hue Park, Best Original Score Written for the Theater for Aronson (music and lyrics) and Park (lyrics) and Best Orchestrations for Aronson.

“Maybe Happy Ending” imagines a future in which humans rely on human-like robots called helperbots. Two helperbots, Oliver and Claire, now live in the retired helperbot yards. But they decide to go on an adventure, which yields an unlikely friendship and maybe even love.

In this “5 minutes with a Tony nominee” chat, Aronson and Park tell host Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News, about the development of characters Oliver and Claire and the technical music choices they made for a specific emotional response.
