Set in the American South during the 19th century, Midnight explores love, identity, empathy, and the humanity that connects us across the boundaries of race, class, and expectation. Featuring a wholly sung-through score that blends gospel, rhythm and blues, pop, rock, folk, opera, and musical theatre, the show follows twelve interconnected lives, six Black characters and six white characters, whose relationships challenge the worlds they have inherited and the assumptions they carry. As friendships deepen, romances blossom, and beliefs are tested, the characters of Midnight are forced to confront what it truly means to understand another person’s experience.
