Overview
- The full principal cast and creative team were revealed Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, with performances scheduled to begin Sept. 12 and an official opening night set for Sept. 27.
- Todrick Hall is credited as the show's writer and will also direct, choreograph, and lead the company in the role of Rail.
- Midnight is a wholly sung‑through musical set in the 19th‑century American South that follows twelve interconnected lives—six Black characters and six white characters—and blends gospel, R&B, pop, rock, folk, opera, and musical‑theatre styles.
- Tickets are available by registration at MidnightOffBway.com and go on general sale Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. ET, and coverage notes a discrepancy in the advertised final performance date with Playbill listing Nov. 1 and Variety listing Nov. 8.
- The show moves to New York after reported sold‑out London engagements and positions Hall’s cross‑platform profile and multihyphenate authorship as a commercial draw that the producers are managing with a staged sales rollout.
