Midnight is a sweeping new musical set in America’s South during the nineteenth century. Written and directed by Todrick Hall, it explores themes of empathy, unity, and love in a divided world. The show’s sung-through score blends gospel, R&B, classical, pop, rock, and musical theatre influences in a genre-defying celebration of humanity.
Following successful private presentations in London and New York earlier this year, the London workshop performances of Midnight mark the first time the piece will be seen by a paying audience.
As well as writing the musical, Midnight will be directed and choreographed by Todrick Hall, with lighting by Rory Beaton, sound by Sound Quiet Time, musical supervision by Mark Crossland, co-musical direction by Caitlin Morgan and Marcus Carter-Adams, andcasting by Harry Blumenau CDG CSA.
