“It has been a bucket-list dream of mine to perform on a New York stage, and I couldn’t think of a better way to do that than becoming a part of the 11 to Midnight family! I’m thrilled to be working alongside Austin and Marideth [Telenko],” Morris said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of their choreography from afar for a long time and I’m honored to be helping their work come to life onstage. Can’t wait to see you all at The Orpheum in April!”

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!
