Darren Criss explains the art of playing a robot in maybe happy ending

With two Tony nominations for his work in perhaps happy ending, Darren Criss crissed the CBS morning to discuss this honor, and the critical recognition that the show has received since her debut in 2024.

“[When attending a Broadway musical]You want to see a kind of spectacle, hopefully have good music and hopefully be moved to a certain extent, “said Criss, noting that Happy End may check all of these boxes.” I think this show rewarded that. In a day in which we know everything everywhere on our phones, it's nice to really discover something new … “

What Criss is able to grasp the essence of a robot in this performance, said the actor: “You want to telegraph to an audience immediately that this is not a human being” by being physical and characterized and characterized, who can be identified as non -human. “But at the end of the show we can tell the audience that this is actually all of us all.” Now look at the full interview with Criss.

Perhaps Happy Ending Stars Darren Criss and Helen J Shen with music by Will Aronson, texts by Hue Park, Book by Aronson and Park and Lirection by Tony winner Michael Arden. The line -up also includes Steven Huynh, Hannah Kevitt, Daniel May and Christopher James Tamayo.

Oliver (Criss) lives a happy calm life in an apartment with an apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, which hears jazz plates and takes care of his favorite plant. But what else is there to do if you are a helper bot 3, a robot that has been considered in retirement for a long time and is considered outdated? If his colleague Helperbot -Nachbar Claire (Shen) asks to rent his charger, an unpleasant encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure and maybe … love?

Happy Ending for 10 Tony Awards and winner of Richard Rodgers Award is the unusual and fascinating story of two outcasts against the end of their guarantee, which find that even robots can be broken down from their feet. The visionary director and Tony Prize winner, Michael Arden (Parade, once on this island), with a dazzling landscape by Dane Laffrey (a Christmas Carol) and book, music and texts by the internationally recognized duos Aronson and Hue Park, perhaps Happy Ending is a fresh, original musical about the small things that are worth a life.
