MIDNIGHT AT THE NEVER GET

“Lushly romantic…this smartly constructed show is utterly transporting — and, for all its romance, frank about the bigotry and shame that gay men faced in that era. An intimate, aching chamber musical about heartbreak and bliss, Midnight at the Never Get is about bravery, too. And about the kind of battered hope that refuses to die, even after death.” — NYTimes (Critic’s Pick)

“If there's a sleeper hit this season, it should be this one. The period-perfect score sounds as if it consists of deep cuts by Bing Crosby and Peggy Lee…sly, unexpectedly subversive.” — The New Yorker

“While it would be easy to exit the York Theatre these days having been absolutely swept away by Mark Sonnenblick's wonderfully engaging and ear-tingling score…it's the superb storytelling of his book that makes the musical truly soar…A knockout from start to finish.” — Broadway World

“Sonnenblick is one of those rare musical triple threats (he wrote book, music, and lyrics) who actually pulls off all three. One of the best little musicals I've seen in the past few years — I could watch it again and again.” — Theatremania

“Alternately sentimental and hard as nails, Midnight at the Never Get is a remarkable entertainment. Sonnenblick's melodies are as pitch-perfect as his lyrics.” — Lighting and Sound America

"The show is so smart, so funny, so moving, and the songs are so well done. Not one misstep." — Bistro Awards (2017 Award Winner)

INDEPENDENTS

"A thing to savor...we are treated to the ease of Charlie Polinger’s direction and the smooth sailing of Stephen Feigenbaum’s folkish tunes and Mark Sonnenblick’s lyrics, evoking sea chanteys and a life of plunder. And then there is Marina Keegan’s salty and lyrical book: her tribute to the vitality, vulnerability and bonhomie of young people" — NYTimes (Critic’s Pick)

"The moment the first song begins you immediately sit up straight in your seat...easily the best new show I saw at Fringe NYC this year. Throughout the show the songs are consistently witty, sophisticated and hummable." — Huffington Post

"Stephen Feigenbaum’s ebullient tunes tack smoothly between sea chantey and indie folk-rock, and the book and lyrics by Mark Sonnenblick and Marina Keegan are broadly comic but also soulful and surprisingly pithy." — TimeOut NY (Critic’s Pick)

"An affecting portrait of the young and aimless...you may find particular poignancy in many of Mark Sonnenblick's lyrics." — The Village Voice

"Propelled by rollicking folk anthems by composer Stephen Feigenbaum and clever, often very funny lyrics by Mark Sonnenblick...Independents' breezy charms sail straight to the heart of young adulthood’s growing pains," — NY Theatre Review
