The musical adaptation of John Berendt’s book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will make its world premiere at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre next summer. Performances are scheduled for June 25, 2024-August 4, 2024.

The musical is a collaboration between composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown (Parade) and book writer Taylor Mac (The Hang). Tony Award winner Rob Ashford directs, with choreography by Tanya Birl and sets by Christopher Oram.

“When I am deciding to start a new show, the two most important questions I ask myself are: 1) Does it sing? and 2) Do I get to work with fun people? With Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, I knew the answers to both questions immediately,” said Brown.

Casting has not yet been revealed, but the musical had a reading in New York City in early August, with J. Harrison Ghee, Steven Pasquale, Austin Colby, Amber Gray and Jennifer Laura Thompson, among others.
