Charm Has Its Uses Too, Even If It Does Not Produce A Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Girls, people are going crazy over "Maybe Happy Ending," and I can understand why.  This is the first new show I have seen with some originality and a melodic score.  In addition, it has two enchanting performances by Darren Criss and Helen J. Shen as robots in love.  You heard me, darlings, robots.  The actors perform the moves perfectly, and after about twenty minutes in, one forgets about them being robots, and the show turns into what my husband reveled in as a 50's type of love story.

                                        It also makes use of media techniques that recalled to me the recent, gender reversed, "COMPANY," and all work well in this show, as opposed to "Sunset Blvd."

                                         Will Aronson and Hue Park are unknowns who are going somewhere, having put the whole thing together themselves.  The same goes for Michael Arden; no choreographer is listed, so I imagine he staged the entire show himself.  And what an achievement.

                                             Just because "Maybe Happy Ending" did not blow me away, darlings, does not mean I did not enjoy and admire it.  And it also makes me look forward to another musical work by the same team involved.

                                               All are capable, demonstrated by this show, of creating something which could actually blow me away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 Go to it, guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
