Todrick Hall, who composed and directed Midnight, will present the second development presentation of the musical at Sadler's Wells East for a strictly limited run in February.

Midnight is billed as a sweeping, sung-through musical that tells a powerful story of love, conflict, and the search for understanding. The production draws its inspiration from modern musicals such as Hamilton, Les Misérables, and Rent. The score by Hall fuses gospel, rhythm and blues, pop, and classic musical theatre into one unforgettable theatrical experience. Midnight invites audiences to see the world through another’s eyes. Its message is simple yet profound: we cannot choose the roles we are given in life, but we can choose how we play them.

The creative team is led by Todrick Hall as Music & Lyrics and Director/Choreographer, with casting Director Harry Blumenau CDG CSA and casting Associate Laura Seaborn. Further cast and creatives to be announced soon.

Midnight will play at Sadler's Wells East from 20 February - 8 March 2026.
