Episode Synopsis

In the original musical “Maybe Happy Ending,” scenic designer Dane Laffrey (who also provided additional video design) and video designer George Reeve use a range of analog and cutting-edge techniques to create Seoul, South Korea, circa the year 2064.From suitcases that double as seats in a car to expanding and contracting curtains that frame space to hologram-like projections, Laffrey and Reeve used their entire toolbox to create the show’s Tony Award-nominated scenic design. In fact, “Maybe Happy Ending” is the first Broadway show to ever use one particular type of technology — which you can hear about in this episode of “5 minutes with a Tony nominee," hosted by Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News.Want to be the first to hear these chats?
