Midnight, a new musical written and directed by Todrick Hall<\/a>, will make an Off-Broadway premiere at the Daryl Roth Theatre beginning September 12, ahead of a September 27 opening night. The limited engagement is set to continue through November 1.<\/p>\n

The work, coming stateside after two sold-out runs in London, follows six Black characters and six white characters whose lives in the American South of the 19th century are interconnected, their relationships pitting them against the worlds they have inherited and the assumptions they carry.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix years ago, frustrated by the state of the world and a level of division I had never experienced in my lifetime, I sat down to write the show I wanted to see,\u201d says Hall in a statement. \u201cI wanted to create a story that felt as timeless as it was timely, a truly original musical that I hoped could change hearts, minds, and lives. I cannot wait to introduce my new musical baby to the world. Her name is Midnight, and she is so excited for New York City to meet her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall’s background lies in stage performance, appearing on Broadway in\u00a0The Color Purple<\/a>,\u00a0Memphis<\/a>, and\u00a0Chicago<\/a>. After his Broadway beginnings, Hall made a name for himself as a viral content creator, amassing more than nine million followers across multiple platforms. Artists he’s collaborated with include Beyonc\u00e9, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande<\/a>, RuPaul, Cynthia Erivo<\/a>, Billy Porter<\/a>, Kristin Chenoweth<\/a>, Amber Riley, and more.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Hall has returned to the world of stage musical theatre, appearing in\u00a0Chicago in London’s West End along with\u00a0Wild About You and\u00a0Burlesque, the latter of which he also directed and choreographed.<\/p>\n

Midnight is being produced by Midnight 1200 LLC and Caryn Sterling.<\/p>\n

Casting, creative team members, and ticketing informations are all to be announced.<\/p>\n
