About Midnight at the Never Get
1965, New York City. Trevor Copeland and Arthur Brightman’s love 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 romance, and the oncoming storm of social revolution.
Starring Tony and Grammy Award-winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen), and written by Golden Globe, Grammy and Academy Award-winner Mark Sonnenblick (“Golden”, KPop Demon Hunters), MIDNIGHT AT THE NEVER GET comes to the Menier for a strictly limited season in a brand new production directed by Drama Desk and Tony Award-winner David Cromer (The Band’s Visit).
MIDNIGHT AT THE NEVER GET opens at the Menier Chocolate Factory on 20 July, with previews from 11 July, and runs until 12 September 2026.
Conceived by Sam Bolen, Max Friedman, and Mark Sonnenblick.

A very real insight into what NYC could have been like for queer people in the 60s. Playing on such a sensitive and touching story, the romance and struggle of making it in the music industry was incredible. The inclusion from the actors really made this such an incredible experience, bringing together all backgrounds and diversity, it really enlightened a lot of power. This show helped me realise how important it is for people to stick together, how amazing it is to see how far society has come for people from all places and sexualities. The music really made this a beautiful story capturing the cabaret style in an immersive space.
A queer love story between a musician and his muse, set in the turbulent 60s and the years that followed, in a backroom bar where we are the audience witnessing the songs and music and the ultimate demise of their love. I defy anyone to not get swept up in their story and to not be touched by the ending.
We had a lovely experience at the theatre watching ‘Midnight at the Never Get’. The show was incredible, funny and emotional. The staff at the venue were helpful and attentive. Thank you for a lovely experience at the theatre.
