News: Behind the scenes at 'Midnight at The Never Get' - The Washington Post
Stride up the stairs to the Signature Theatre lobby and you’ll be greeted by stark reminders of live theater’s pandemic-induced pause. A promotional display still touts “Gun & Powder,” the musical that wrapped its run more than a year ago. The concession stand publicizes “Camille Claudel,” a would-be world premiere that was in rehearsals when coronavirus concerns shut it down.
But backstage on a frigid February afternoon, down the hall from the warmly lit dressing rooms and a spare space used for coronavirus testing, a cast and crew of some two-dozen people were back to work on the musical “Midnight at the Never Get,” the third production of Signature’s all-digital 2021 season.
