A gay true crime takes to the stage in the musical adaptation of ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil’
Chicago’s Goodman Theatre. A DJ spins a mix of old-school Destiny’s Child, along with new kids Reneé Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion while a diverse array of Chicago’s vibrant queer community kikis over themed cocktails, snaps selfies against backgrounds resplendent with hyper-realistic Spanish moss, and squees over the prospect of sharing space with theatrical legends Jason Robert Brown, Taylor Mac and J.
Harrison Ghee, and their hopes of winning a trip to Savannah, GA. This isn’t your average Pride party. The sold-out crowd has arrived for the first performance of the world premiere musical adaption of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.The Goodman will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025 and has firmly planted itself as one of Chicago’s premiere producers of new works and classics.
The Tony-winning company has cultivated a dedicated an LGBTQ+ audience and shined a spotlight on queer narratives, including last season’s world premiere of Layalina and next spring’s production of James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Fat Ham.
