What Is the Story of After Midnight?
This jazzy 90-minute dance-centric concert musical doesn’t have a story, but the production numbers are loosely linked by the fictional setting, Harlem’s iconic Cotton Club.
After Midnight is Broadway’s exhilarating new musical celebrating the glamour and exuberance of Harlem’s Golden Age. Experience the intoxicating sounds of Harlem’s most legendary nightclub, performed by the unparalleled Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars, an orchestra of 17 world-class musicians hand-picked by 9-time Grammy Award winner Wynton Marsalis. The timeless songs of Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Cab Calloway and their contemporaries are as explosively entertaining as ever in this evening of high-adrenaline song and dance numbers, woven together by the prose of Langston Hughes.
*Fantasia Barrino appears May 13-June 8. Patti LaBelle appears June 10-29. Gladys Knight appears July 8-August 3. Natalie Cole appears August 5-31.
