Set in South Korea, the musical follows a Helperbot 3 that has been deemed obsolete. When his Helperbot neighbor drops by to borrow a charger, a bond is formed, the beginning of a surprising and romantic adventure. The original work features music by Will Aronson and lyrics by Hue Park, and both have collaborated on the book. The musical was previously forced to postpone its Broadway start due to supply chain issues related to the show's scenic design, which uses specialty projection technology.
