Todrick Hall’s Midnight to Premiere Off‑Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre

The wholly sung-through musical that probes race and identity will open in New York this fall after two sold-out London runs.

Overview

  • The production announced its full cast and run this week, with previews beginning Sept. 12, an official opening night on Sept. 27, and a limited engagement into November.
  • Todrick Hall wrote, directs, choreographs, and will star as Rail in the show, consolidating creative authorship and onstage leadership in a single artist.
  • Midnight is set in the 19th-century American South and follows twelve interconnected lives—six Black characters and six white characters—through a wholly sung-through score that mixes gospel, R&B, pop, rock, folk, opera, and musical theatre.
  • Tickets are being handled through registration at MidnightOffBway.com, with general on-sale scheduled to begin Aug. 5, reflecting a limited-run commercial rollout aimed at building early audience momentum.
  • The Off‑Broadway transfer follows two sold-out London engagements and features a credited creative team including Laurence Stannard, Mark Crossland, Morgan Large, and Beck Jones, positioning the show for a professionally scaled New York presentation.
