Jason Robert Brown and Taylor Mac's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Planning Broadway Run

Jason Robert Brown and Taylor Mac’s musical Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is planning a Broadway bow in 2025, producers have announced. The show premiered earlier this year at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre.

Based on the non-fiction book by John Berendt, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is an account of the shooting of a male prostitute by his employer, a local antiques dealer. A bestseller when it was published in 1994, Clint Eastwood adapted it into a film in 1997. The musical features a book by Mac (Bark of Millions) and a score by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (The Connector). The production will be directed by Tony Award winner Rob Ashford, with choreography by Tanya Birl-Torres

Dates, casting, and additional information will be announced in the coming months. The Goodman run starred Tony winner J. Harrison Ghee as the Lady Chablis, Tom Hewitt as Jim Williams, Sierra Boggess as Emma Dawes, Austin Colby as Danny Hansford, and Jessica Molaskey as Alma Knox Carter.

The production will feature sets by Christopher Oram, costumes by Toni-Leslie James, lighting by Neil Austin, and sound by Jon Weston.
