Watch: A Mid-Performance Medical Emergency Leads to an Impromptu Concert at Broadway's Maybe Happy Ending

When a medical emergency forced the April 22 performance of Broadway's Maybe Happy Ending to get a mid-show pause, the cast—including Darren Criss, Helen J Shen, and Dez Duron—took the stage for an impromptu concert to pass the time. It included Shen singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Duron singing "Fly Me to the Moon," and Criss singing "Teenage Dream" (while accompanying himself on guitar). And best of all, the production has confirmed in an Instagram post that "everyone [was] safe and okay," so we get to enjoy this special performance guilt free!

Watch video of the performance posted by the production below.

With music by Will Aronson, lyrics by Hue Park, and a book by Park and Aronson, Maybe Happy Ending opened at the Belasco November 12, 2024. Read the reviews here. The Broadway cast album released March 14 via Ghostlight Records. Stream the album .
