The 2025 Tony Award show saw Maybe Happy Ending and Yellow Face win 2025 Tony Awards! Maybe Happy Ending won 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Performance by An Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical (Darren Criss). Yellow Face actor Francis Jue won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play. Another notable Asian American award winner was Nicole Scherzinger, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her role in Sunset Blvd.
The growth of Asian Americans on Broadway has taken off this past year. It is more than just actors and actresses winning awards but about Asian American themed and originated material. Although they don’t mention Maybe Happy Ending, Francis Jue and Daniel Dae Kim talk about this progress in an interview in Playbill. Helen J. Shen and Nicole Scherzinger deserve extra recognition as being in award winning productions in their Broadway Debut.
For Broadway tickets to see Maybe Happy Ending, see the musical’s official website. In addition, a North American tour is coming! You can see Yellow Face on PBS here. Sunset Blvd tickets can be found here, but you had better hurry as the show closes on July 20.
