Overview
- Producers announced Thursday that Midnight will begin performances at the Daryl Roth Theatre on September 12, open officially on September 27, and run through November 1, 2026.
- The production is being mounted by Midnight 1200 LLC and Caryn Sterling after two sold-out runs in London, a move that signals commercial momentum for the show.
- Midnight is set in the 19th-century American South and follows twelve interconnected lives—six Black characters and six white characters—to explore race, identity, love, and inherited assumptions.
- Todrick Hall wrote and will direct the wholly sung-through score, which he describes as a response to contemporary division and which blends multiple musical genres to reach varied audiences.
- Key details still to be released include casting, the full creative team, ticketing and a detailed performance schedule, making those items the next milestones to watch before previews begin.
