Show Information

After Midnight opened on November 3, 2013, at Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York City, following previews that began October 18, 2013. The revue grew out of the 2011 City Center Encores! production Cotton Club Parade and draws on the music of Duke Ellington, Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields, Harold Arlen, and other writers associated with the Jazz Age and Harlem Renaissance. The production was directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, with music supervision, orchestrations, and musical direction associated with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The show is a musical revue built around a sequence of song-and-dance production numbers, with an onstage big band central to the performance. After Midnight ran on Broadway through 2014, and the material later appeared in a national tour and regional productions, including at The 5th Avenue Theatre. The production runs approximately 90 minutes and is performed without an intermission.

After Midnight received multiple 2014 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, and won Best Choreography for Warren Carlyle. It was widely praised for its musicianship, dance, and period style, with particular attention given to the live Jazz at Lincoln Center band and the production’s choreography. Notable performers during the Broadway engagement included Fantasia Barrino, Patti LaBelle, k.d. lang, Toni Braxton, and Dulé Hill, who served as the show’s emcee figure.

Story Summary

After Midnight is a musical revue that recreates the atmosphere of a night at Harlem’s legendary Cotton Club during the Jazz Age and Harlem Renaissance. The show unfolds through singers, dancers, featured vocalists, an emcee figure, and an onstage big band, creating a club-style evening shaped by live jazz, tap, swing, and period showmanship.

The production moves through exuberant up-tempo numbers, sultry torch songs, instrumental showcases, and dance features. Langston Hughes poetry helps frame the evening, while the music of Duke Ellington and other jazz-era songwriters gives the revue its rhythmic center. The result is an experience rooted in the glamour, artistry, and energy of Harlem’s Golden Age.

No prior knowledge of the Cotton Club, Duke Ellington, or the Harlem Renaissance is required. After Midnight is designed to be enjoyed directly as a celebratory evening of jazz-era music and dance, with the performance’s rhythm, style, and musicality landing for a broad audience.

After Midnight Seating Guide

After Midnight has played Broadway, touring, and regional theater venues, so seating layouts can vary by production. Where you sit shapes how you experience the onstage band, choreography, vocals, and period design.

Best Seats for After Midnight

The best seats for After Midnight balance a clear view of the full stage picture with enough proximity to feel the energy of the live music and dance.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine and rear orchestra sections — these seats often give you a strong overall view of the choreography, band, and stage design while keeping you farther from premium pricing.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — these seats place you closest to the singers, dancers, and musicians, creating an immersive view of the tap work, facial expressions, and live-band interplay.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra and front mezzanine sections — these areas usually offer the best balance of sound, sightlines, and distance from the stage.
• For families with young children: Sections with aisle access can make arrival and exit easier, especially since After Midnight runs approximately 90 minutes without an intermission.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks of seats in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly.

You can view an interactive seating map for After Midnight productions directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the venue can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Venue doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for a 90-minute run with no intermission. After Midnight is performed without an intermission, so use the restroom, purchase concessions, and get settled before the performance begins — especially if you are attending with young children.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and recording are not permitted during the performance, and audiences should silence phones before the show begins.
• For families: After Midnight is appropriate for most ages and has broad appeal, but the no-intermission format makes a little planning helpful for younger theatergoers.
