After Midnight, directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle and featuring the big-band sounds of nine-time Grammy Award-winner Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars, closed last night at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre after 273 performances.
BroadwayWorld was there for the final curtain call and you can check out photo coverage from the big night below!
The evocative After Midnight took the sexy, smoky glamour of the original Jazz Age and catapulted it into a whole new era of heart-pounding, mind-blowing entertainment for modern Broadway audiences. Refracted through a contemporary lens, After Midnight celebrated Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club using his original arrangements and performed by a world-class big band of 17 musicians hand-picked by living jazz legend, Wynton Marsalis.
The timeless tunes set against a narrative of Langston Hughes poetry provided an authentic backdrop for an array of cutting-edge performances by 25 sensational vocalists and dancers, including special guest stars, whose interpretations shattered everything you think you know about music, nightlife and Broadway.
