11 to Midnight takes place during one unforgettable hour at a New Year’s Eve apartment party—somewhere in the city, where the music’s loud, the lights are soft, and time feels like it’s had a glass of champagne too. Resolutions are made (and some forgotten), feelings pop up out of nowhere, and the future? Well, let’s see what happens this time next year! 

Seven friends – some old, some new, all tangled up in the messy magic of friendship – come together to toast the New Year. Whether it’s 1921 or 2025, the ritual remains the same – we make a wish, promise big, and hopefully score a midnight kiss.

With high-energy theatrical street-style dance and a genre-hopping soundtrack, 11 to Midnight lets movement do the talking – capturing those big, buzzy feelings that words just can’t touch. Joy. Nostalgia. That electric moment when the countdown begins.

Sure, it’s a party—but beneath the confetti and countdowns, it’s also a celebration of who we are, who we’re trying to be, and the beautiful chaos of figuring it all out before the clock runs out.

Renowned for their dynamic choreography and magnetic personalities, the real-life couple Cost n’ Mayor has cultivated a viral community on TikTok (354 million likes, 7.6 million followers) and Instagram (2.6 million followers). Over a months-long casting process, more than 500 performers from 28 states and 9 countries submitted online audition videos for consideration. Following this global search, 11 to Midnight’s 9-member company was selected to include Brendon Chan, Kati Simon, Ache Richardson, Makenzie Olsen, Tyson Hill, and swings Kristalyn Gill and Jake Urban.

11 to Midnight’s creative team includes Jeff Award winner Arnel Sancianco (scenic design), Barbara Erin Delo (costume design), Tony Award winner Jeff Croiter and Sean Beach (lighting design), Ben Scheff (sound design), and Tony Award winner Jeremy Chernick (special effects). The score combines original compositions by Jacob AvinerSpencer Novich, and Steve Toulmin.
