From gospel to rock, a powerful new musical about love, empathy, and the choices that define us.
Midnight is a bold new sung-through musical set in the American South during the nineteenth century. Through a sweeping story of love, conflict, and the search for understanding, it explores the human capacity for empathy amid a deeply divided world. With its richly emotional narrative, the musical examines how individuals confront the roles they are assigned by history, society, and circumstance.
Created by Todrick Hall, Midnight features a genre-spanning score that blends gospel, rhythm and blues, classical, pop, rock, opera, folk, and traditional musical theatre.
Developed in the spirit of groundbreaking sung-through works such as Hamilton, Les Misérables, and Rent, Midnight unites modern sensibilities with historical resonance, offering a stirring new voice in the canon of American musical theatre.
