Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Extended by Popular Demand THROUGH AUGUST 11!

Acclaimed author John Berendt’s iconic New York Times best seller becomes a seductive new musical.

Southern charm is bountiful in Savannah, Georgia. But behind polite smiles, the eccentric residents are filled with secrets and motives. When wealthy antiques dealer Jim Williams is accused of murder, the sensational trial uncovers hidden truths and exposes the fine line between good and evil – which sparks Lady Chablis and other Savannahians to change the city forever. MacArthur “Genius” grantee Taylor Mac, Tony Award winners Jason Robert Brown and Rob Ashford, and choreographer Tanya Birl-Torres bring the true-crime blockbuster book and its beloved characters to life in a new musical adaptation.

Recommended for ages 14+

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil contains alcohol use, firearms, recorded gunshots, strobe lights, profanity, and discussions of sex, sexuality, violence and murder.

“Watching exceptional actors inhabit these characters just allows them to come to life.” MacArthur “Genius” grantee Taylor Mac (Book) and Tony Award Winner Jason Robert Brown (Music and Lyrics) talk about their collaboration on Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
