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 blending 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.
The principal cast features Todrick Hall, Jeremy Beloate, Jimmy Brewer, Kennedy Caughell, Dwayne Clark, Tony Award nominee Sidney DuPont, Ayana George, Autumn Hurlbert, Kolbi Jordan, Bella Coppola, Ciarán McCarthy, and Charlotte Odusanya.
