Korean playwright’s latest lands 10 Tony Award nominations

“Maybe Happy Ending” is an eccentric, endearing story, set in 2064, about two retired robots who fall in love. One of its authors, Hue Park, is Korean and the musical is set in both Seoul and an island off the Korean peninsula. And three out of the four actors in the show are Asian.  It’s had an interesting journey. The show was originally a hit IN South Korea, playing in Seoul in 2016, with five subsequent productions. Jeff Lunden reports.
