Maybe Happy Ending star Dez Duron, who plays Gil Brentley in the Tony-winning musical at the Belasco, has filmed a holiday version of his character's love song, "Then I Can Let You Go."
The recording, which has been remixed with jingle bells, features an arrangement and accompaniment by the musical's Tony-winning co-creator, Will Aronson, who also briefly lends vocals to the recording.
The video, produced by And That's Showbiz, was filmed at So & So's Neighborhood Piano Bar in midtown. The directors of photography were Gabrielle Mariella and Little Otter Productions with Connor Macchi as line producer, Mason Bray as creative director, and Emma Balk as production manager.
