It’s a happy Tony beginning for Will Aroson and Hue Park, who have won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical for their work on Maybe Happy Ending. The pair beat out fellow nominees Marco Ramirez for Buena Vista Social Club; Marco Pennette for Death Becomes Her; Itamar Moses for Dead Outlaw; and David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts for Operation Mincemeat.

Aroson and Park are longtime collaborators, working on original musicals Il Tenore and the upcoming Ghost Bakery and musical adaptation of the film Bungee Jump.

Independently, Park has also written lyrics for K-Pop and has translated many shows for the Korean stage, including The Phantom of the Opera, The Bodyguard, and M. Butterfly. Aroson has also worked on My Scary Girl, Mother, Me & the Monsters, and Pete the Cat.

‍Maybe Happy Ending follows two not-quite-human robots as they forge an incredibly human bond. Set in a near-future Seoul, the show explores the concepts of love, friendship, companionship, and the human experience.
