NextImg:‘Maybe Happy Ending’ won big at the Tony’s. Get the cheapest tickets now

Cue the fireflies.

After netting ten Tony nominations, “Maybe Happy Ending” walked away from this year’s awards ceremony with six trophies including Best Musical and Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Darren Criss.

The popular, original show, which is currently running at the Belasco Theatre for the foreseeable future tells the tale of two lonely, discarded “HelperBots” — played by Criss and Helen J. Shen — forming an unlikely bond in 2060s Seoul.

“Instead of predictable bombast, the tender musical’s many heartbreaking and uplifting moments sneak up on us and provide an increasingly rare sensation for a genre that has become formulaic and derivative: surprise,” the New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinksi wrote in a glowing four-star review of the production.

“I’ve criticized Broadway many times over the years for being too robotic,” Oleksinski continued. “This time, however, it’s high praise.”

If you haven’t seen the magical musical live yet, tickets are available for all upcoming “MHE” shows at the Belasco Theatre.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find to see the six-time Tony winner live was $107 including fees on Vivid Seats.

In the event that show doesn’t work for you, we dug around and uncovered some of the other cheapest options also on the market these next few months as well.

The quirky musical is far from sprawling; rather than employ dozens of actors, “Maybe Happy Ending” is made up of a tight four-person ensemble. Here’s a little bit about each actor to make sure you’re familiar with them before seeing the show in person.

Darren Criss (Oliver) has been around the block. The Tony Award-winning actor and musician broke out playing Blaine Anderson in “Glee” but you may also recognize him from his Emmy-winning turn in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.” Broadway credits include “American Buffalo” and “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”

Helen J. Shen (Claire) is making their Broadway debut with “Maybe Happy Ending.” The Michigan grad is no theater rookie, though. Shen starred in “The Lonely Few” (Entertainment Weekly said they were “a force to be reckoned with”) and appeared in Michael R. Jackson’s musical “Teeth.”

Dez Duron (Gil Brentley and others) grew up singing in the church. After his sophomore year in college, he left school to try out for “The Voice” and made it to the Top Eight. Acting-wise, he originated the role of “Maybe Happy Ending’s” Gil Brentley at the Alliance Theatre and starred in the world premiere of “Music City.”

Marcus Choi (James and others) recently played George Washington in “Hamilton” on tour. He’s also appeared in “Wicked,” “Flower Drum Song” and “Allegiance” on Broadway. If you think you’ve seen him on TV, it’s possible you caught Choi in “Luke Cage,” “The OA,” “FBI,” “Chicago PD” or “Homeland.”

Once the credits rolled on this year’s Tony’s telecast, one thing was clear: “Maybe Happy Ending” cleaned up (and went home with more trophies than any other show).

To make sure you’re aware of all the hardware they received, here’s a look at all six Tony’s the decorated musical won this year:

Best New Musical

Best Leading Actor in a Musical: Darren Criss

Best Direction of a Musical: Michael Arden

Best Book of a Musical

Best Scenic Design of a Musical: Dane Laffrey and George Reeve

Best Original Score: Will Aronson and Hue Park
