Hudson Yards is now home to New York City’s newest entertainment venue. And not only that, but the midnight theater will also be home to Mastercardβs new Innovative Multisensory Experiences, and the very first home at that. The beautiful 160-seat theater has a cozy, art deco feel that will make audience members feel like theyre floating as they enjoy the music and shows that the venue has to offer.
βAfter over 20 years of creating film, TV and digital content, Iβm thrilled for Dolphin to make its first foray into a brick-and-mortar, live entertainment venue with the debut of our major investment, Midnight Theatre,β CEO BillΒ OβDowd said.Β βWe couldnβt have a more creative and hardworking partner than Warren Adcock, who along with partner Josh Cohen has driven the vision and will steer the innovation of this magnificent space, bringing premium and discoverable talent to our state-of-the-art theater. And with Mastercard as our powerful partner, helping us create even more unforgettable experiences, we truly believe that NYC will be more exciting, more glamorous, and more delicious with the addition of Midnight Theatre to its landscape.β
The concept came fromΒ Creative Director Warren Adcock to be a unique home setting for talent in all genres of music, magic, theater and performance art. Mastercard holders will have special opportunities to unlock exclusive experiences.
To celebrate the exciting opening, Β Holly JamesΒ (Moulin Rouge, Hamilton, American Psycho, Porgy and Bess),Β Olutayo BosedeΒ (Moulin Rouge, The Wiz LIVE, West Side Story),Β Ericka HunterΒ (Moulin Rouge, Miss Saigon, American Psycho, Rock of Ages), and Jin HaΒ (Hamilton, M. Butterfly) put on a beautiful array of songs, directed by Keiji IshiguriΒ (Rent, 54 Sings Series).
It was an exciting night full of laughs and stories alongside the music, as the four immensely talented performers have all known each other for years, hence the title of the show. The stars shined in performances of Hamilton’s Burn and many other mashups.
