Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen, Parade, The Politician) is set to star in the UK premiere of new musical Midnight at The Never Get in London.
Midnight at The Never Get will run at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London from 11 July to 12 September 2026.
Midnight at The Never Get has a book, music and lyrics by Golden Globe and Grammy Award-winner Mark Sonnenblick (Golden, KPop Demon Hunters). The show was conceived by Sam Bolen, Max Friedman, and Mark Sonnenblick.
This brand-new production will be directed by Drama Desk and Tony Award-winner David Cromer (The Band’s Visit), with set design by Scott Pask (The Book of Mormon).
“I’m thrilled to be undertaking my first full run on the London stage at the Menier as it transforms into the nightclub setting of The Never Get. It’s truly wonderful to work with Mark, who is not only a genius songwriter, but who has also become a true friend.” – BEN PLATT
What is Midnight at The Never Get about? Set in New York City in 1965, Trevor Copeland and Arthur Brightman’s romance is against the law. In their secret nightclub act, “Midnight,” they perform love songs in an act of defiance of a world that demands they stay hidden. As tensions rise at the start of a historic movement, Trevor and Arthur are torn between their own surreptitious affair and the oncoming storm of social revolution.
Ben Platt plays Trevor Copeland in the show, with further casting to be announced.
Ben Platt is a Tony and Grammy Award-winner. His recent credits include a three-week, sold-out run for his New York show Ben Platt: Live at the Palace.
Ben’s stage work also includes Parade and Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway; his film credits include Theater Camp and Dear Evan Hansen; and on TV he starred in Netflix hit The Politician.
