Scooter Braun and Todrick Hall are making magic together on the New York theater scene.
The music mogul and entertainer have joined forces on Hall’s new Off-Broadway musical, “Midnight,” which has been attracting celebrity supporters and drawing enthusiastic reactions from audiences.
Hall — who wrote, directed, choreographed and stars in the production — and his manager, Caryn Sterling, have teamed up with Braun alongside listed producer, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
The show has already caught the attention of several famous faces, including Lea Michele, “American Idol” alum Tamyra Gray and “Orange Is the New Black” star Danielle Brooks.
Michele was visibly emotional after attending a performance, gushing about the production in an Instagram video alongside Hall.
“This is the most extraordinary show I’ve ever seen,” the “Glee” alum raved. “I cried the entire show. It was so beautiful.”
“Please run to see this show,” she added. “This is amazing. It’s extraordinary. It’s beautiful.”
Gray was equally moved by the production, telling Hall in a separate Instagram video that the experience had left a lasting impression on her.
“I have been forever changed,” the Season 1 “American Idol” finalist said. “My heart and soul has been ripped open. I have never cried so much in a show. I have never been moved so much in a show.
“If you are in New York, do yourself a favor, and be moved, and be healed, and be restored, and be rejuvenated, and get yourself down to the Daryl Roth Theatre and see ‘Midnight,’” Gray said.
Brooks also stopped by to support Hall, who shared a photo of himself planting a kiss on the actress’ cheek backstage.
“THE @thedaniellebrooks came to see @midnight on Tuesday! Obsessed with her and her gift,” Hall, 41, wrote on Instagram.
The excitement surrounding the production has even prompted comparisons to seeing “Hamilton” during its early run at The Public Theater, before the musical became a Broadway phenomenon.
Braun, 45, has been showing his support for the show on social media.
Earlier this month, the music exec shared a video to his Instagram Story of cast member Ayana George rehearsing for the production.
“Must watch and must listen Off broadway now @midnight,” Braun wrote atop the clip, which Hall reposted to his own social media.
The collaboration marks a new chapter in Braun and Hall’s relationship after the two previously worked together for several years. Now, they’ve reunited on this new creative venture.
Set in the 19th-century American South, “Midnight” follows 12 interconnected characters navigating love, race, class and identity through an original score blending gospel, R&B, pop, rock and musical theater.
The production is scheduled to run through Nov. 8 at the Daryl Roth Theatre in New York City.
