This multi-award-winning musical revue, steeped in the vibrant allure of the Harlem Renaissance, promises an unforgettable journey back to the Jazz Age, complete with live music, electrifying dance, and the poetic genius of Langston Hughes.

After Midnight, which runs from August 5th to August 24th, 2025, at The 5th Avenue Theatre, is the grand finale of their 2024/25 Season. Conceived by Jack Viertel, with selected text by the legendary Langston Hughes, this jukebox musical is a lavish celebration of the iconic Cotton Club era. It features a dazzling array of songs by jazz luminaries such as Duke Ellington, Dorothy Fields, and Harold Arlen, including timeless standards like “Stormy Weather,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing.”

“Imagine stepping into the Cotton Club itself, feeling the pulse of the live jazz band, witnessing the incredible tap dance and the powerful voices of a dynamic cast,” says a spokesperson for Racketeer Broadcast Association. “That’s the immersive experience After Midnight offers, and it aligns perfectly with our mission to bridge the heart and soul of 1930s Jazz with today’s vibrant music and arts culture.”

The production boasts original staging and is directed by The 5th Avenue Theatre’s own Senior Director of Artistic Programming, Jay Santos.
