“Maybe Happy Ending” currently stars Zachary Noah Piser as Oliver and Kevitt as Claire, with Dez Duron as Gil Brentley and Marcus Choi as James and others. As previously announced, jazz vocalist Stella Cole will make her Broadway debut as Gil Brentley for a four-week engagement beginning on October 20.
