About this show
What is Midnight about?
Midnight is an original sung-through musical from Todrick Hall, playing a limited Off-Broadway engagement at the Daryl Roth Theatre from 12 September to 8 November 2026. Set in the American South during the 19th century, it follows twelve interconnected lives, six Black characters and six white characters, whose stories collide across the boundaries of race, class and expectation. At its heart the show asks one unforgettable question: what if the life you inherited had belonged to someone else?
What is the music like in Midnight?
The score is wholly sung-through and moves across gospel, rhythm and blues, pop, rock, folk, opera and contemporary musical theatre. Hall wrote the book, music and lyrics, and the production blends that genre-hopping score with large-scale theatrical staging as love, loss, prejudice and hope collide on stage.

What the critics say
““On all levels, Hall has succeeded, creating what I can only describe as a modern opera on the corrosive nature of slavery in the antebellum South.””
““Todrick Hall has created something exceptional. It is audacious, imperfect, emotionally charged, musically glorious, and utterly unforgettable.””
“Todrick Hall’s ambitious, visually dazzling, vocally explosive Civil War musical has talent to burn, but needs a sharper focus and a shorter clock.”

““Driven by Hall’s endless ambition and a bevy of spectacular performances, Midnight strikes just when Broadway needs it the most.””
““Todrick Hall’s Midnight wears its message in every lyric, and with voices this powerful carrying it, a few hours in someone else’s shoes is time well spent.””
“There is, somewhere in MIDNIGHT, a good musical with a life on a bigger stage, but finding it will take a little more time”
““Profoundly meaningful, provocative, and dangerously thrilling””
““Todrick Hall’s Midnight at the Daryl Roth Theatre is the best musical I’ve seen since Hamilton.””

“Todrick Hall’s sprawling antebellum musical ‘Midnight’ boasts gorgeous harmonies and powerhouse vocals but gets buried under its own ambition.”
““MIDNIGHT is a powerful new musical that packs a punch.””
