Exclusive Interview: James Seol of ‘Maybe Happy Ending’
Love. Loss. Human connection. These forces take center stage in Maybe Happy Ending, a musical that proves even robots can have a little heart, although it might take them a moment to find it. With its charming storytelling, gorgeous music, and surprisingly emotional depth, this Tony Award-winning musical has captured audiences’ hearts by exploring what it truly means to love, live, and find purpose in a world that doesn’t always have room for you. As the beloved production sweeps across North America, audiences can experience this wonderfully unconventional love story in a new way. We recently sat down with James Seol, who plays James and Junseo (& Others) in the North American touring production, to chat about how Maybe Happy Ending continues to charm audiences and break down barriers unlike any show he’s been part of before.
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, James Seol discusses what it’s like to step into a world like Maybe Happy Ending and bring deep emotional complexity to the show through his characters, James and Junseo. From the show’s heartfelt themes to the magic of bringing this story to life onstage, our conversation offers a closer look at the musical that proves even artificial hearts can inspire real emotions.
