Ben Platt performs new number ahead of his London run debut in Midnight at the Never Get

Ben Platt is set to lead the UK premiere of Midnight at the Never Get – and a first listen to him performing a number from the show has been released!

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. It has music, lyrics and book by multi-award-winning songwriter Mark Sonnenblick, and David Cromer will direct a new production for its London premiere at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
