Ben Platt Tickets London

Midnight at the Never Get comes to London for a strictly limited season, bringing Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Ben Platt to the Menier Chocolate Factory in his long-awaited London stage debut.

Written by Golden Globe and Grammy Award winner and Oscar nominee Mark Sonnenblick, and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (The Band’s Visit), this brand-new production marks the UK premiere of a musical love story set against a world that refuses to let it exist.

Set in 1965 New York City, Midnight at the Never Get follows two men performing forbidden love songs inside a secret nightclub act—where romance becomes rebellion, and music becomes survival.

This is a rare opportunity to see one of Broadway’s most celebrated performers up close, in one of London’s most intimate and prestigious theatres.

Midnight at the Never Get starring Ben Platt

1965, New York City. Trevor Copeland and Arthur Brightman’s romance is against the law.

In their secret nightclub act, Midnight, they perform love songs in defiance of a world that demands they stay hidden. But as tensions rise at the start of a historic movement, they must choose between the safety of secrecy and the danger of being seen.

With its intimate scale and emotional force, Midnight at the Never Get is a story of love under pressure—where every lyric risks exposure, and every moment becomes a turning point.
