Maybe Happy Ending (Broadway)
Broadway Musical • 2024 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Inside a one-room apartment in the heart of Seoul, Oliver lives a happily quiet life listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a Helper-Bot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helper-Bot neighbor Claire asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even...love?

characters in a relationship pretend to argue and fight over minor things, it’s played as a joke. There is a flashback sequence that depicts a different couple going through a difficult breakup, it is fleeting.

Characters check in to an hourly hotel/love hotel. The joke of the scene is they don’t understand the sexual references. It’s pretty mild, no explicit references.

One of the helperbots is complimented and flirted with by the boyfriend of her owner in a flashback sequence. There is passing dialogue that implies that the boyfriend likes that she is subservient and programmed to not say no to requests.

Is autism misrepresented?

The main characters are robots. One character has traits that are similar to autism traits (liking to stick to a strict schedule, having a hard time with change and breaks in routine, not always picking up on social cues, special interest) but autism is never mentioned. Mostly these are portrayed as endearing qualities. However if you are sensitive to tropes of autistic characters always being non-human this might be something to keep in mind.

No on-screen death. the short life expectancy of the robot characters is discussed explicitly and facing mortality is a major theme.

Both helperbot characters have parts that are failing and can’t be replaced. Notably one character’s battery life is failing which is a disabling condition that is expected to get worse. This is a major theme.

The characters drive a car through the city but I can’t remember the sound effects used. There may be honks to simulate city traffic.

There is a flashback sequence where a male character flirts intensely with a female character who is in a position where she can’t outright refuse him, and this appears to make her uncomfortable. He backs off before it becomes physical.

Not explicitly, however characters do experience memory loss. A major theme of the show is facing the reality of mortality and aging in people we love.
