Last month, WhatsOnStage was invited to the Menier Chocolate Factory to talk to the creator and star of their summer show, Midnight at the Never Get.
Ben Platt will star in the UK premiere of Mark Sonnenblick’s musical. Set in 1965 New York, it follows Trevor Copeland and Arthur Brightman’s illegal romance, where they meet to perform songs in a secret nightclub act. David Cromer will direct a new production for its premiere at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
We’ve covered the run in more detail in our dedicated news story.
Just moments after he received his Oscar nomination, we sat down with writer Sonnenblick and performer Platt to talk about bringing the show to London.
