Following two sold-out engagements in London, MIDNIGHT, a bold new original musical written and directed by Todrick Hall will make its New York premiere at the Daryl Roth Theatre (101 East 15th Street).
Set in the American South during the 19th century, MIDNIGHT explores love, identity, empathy, and the humanity that connects us across the boundaries of race, class, and expectation. Featuring a wholly sung-through score that blends gospel, rhythm and blues, pop, rock, folk, opera, and musical theatre, the show follows twelve interconnected lives, six Black characters and six white characters, whose relationships challenge the worlds they have inherited and the assumptions they carry.
As friendships deepen, romances blossom, and beliefs are tested, the characters of MIDNIGHT are forced to confront what it truly means to understand another person’s experience.
Joining Hall in the cast will be Jeremy Beloate (“The Voice”), Jimmy Brewer (Shucked), Kennedy Caughell (Hell’s Kitchen), Dwayne Clark (Shucked), Sidney DuPont (Tony Award nominee, Paradise Square), Ayana George (MJ The Musical), Autumn Hurlbert (Tammy Faye), Kolbi Jordan (“American Idol”), Sarah Lynn Marion (Ordinary Days), Ciaran McCarthy (Kinky Boots), and Charlotte Odusanya (The Wiz).
