The June 10 performance of Maybe Happy Ending was the production's first after coming out of this year's Tony Awards the most Tony-winning show of the season鈥攊ncluding that all-important Best Musical title. And electricity was in the air. Not only were the fans (the fireflies) out to support and celebrate, the show itself gained a special, new prop: its Tony statuette.
Jazz singer Gil Brentley, played by Dez Duron, usually starts the show with a martini in hand, but the show switched things up for last night's performance. Take a look at the stunt below.
2025 Tony winner Darren Criss and Helen J Shen lead the Tony-winning musical at the Belasco Theatre, where opening night was November 12, 2024.
