Arlington’s Signature Theatre has announced full casting and performance dates for its upcoming musical Midnight at The Never Get, the third production in the Signature Features 2021 Season.

Written by Jonathan Larson grant winner Mark Sonnenblick, Midnight at The Never Get features the performance of a lifetime from a 1960s underground gay nightclub in Greenwich Village.

If life is a rehearsal for your memory, what moment would you replay? It is 1965 in New York City and cabaret crooner Trevor is in love—with Arthur, his songwriter. With their romance outlawed, the two create an act in the back room of an illegal Greenwich Village gay bar. However, pressures from a world on the cusp of change expose an ache for what they could never have in a wistful and whimsical serenade with tunes reminiscent of the Great American Songbook.

The musical stars Sam Bolen, Christian Douglas and Bobby Smith; and is directed by Signature’s Associate Artistic Director Matthew Gardiner, with musical direction by Angie Benson, costumes by Frederick P. Deeben, lighting by Adam Honoré, sound by Ryan Hickey, and orchestrations by Adam Podd.

Gardiner said: “Mark Sonnenblick has written a musical that is romantic and heartbreaking. It’s a story about the tectonic power of a love affair and the trace it leaves behind, for better or worse. I’m very excited to bring this haunting and moving musical into your living rooms with this filmed production.”

The show will be available to stream from 30 April – 21 June in HD on Marquee TV here, an on-demand streaming platform dedicated to global arts and culture.
