A Strange Loop: Book, Music, and Lyrics by Michael R. Jackson
The ground-breaking and critically acclaimed winner of every ‘Best Musical’ award on Broadway, plus the Pulitzer Prize, bursts onto the RTP stage in its Virginia premiere. Hell-bent on breaking free of his own self-perception, Usher, a young, gay, Black writer who hates his day job, writes a musical about a young, gay, Black writer who’s writing a musical about a young, gay, Black writer… a strange loop. Usher grapples with desires, identity, and instincts he both loves and loathes, all brought to life on stage by a hilarious, straight talking ensemble. Nominated for 11 Tony Awards, Michael R. Jackson’s blisteringly funny, “audacious and uproarious” (The Guardian) show is a heartfelt and thought-provoking
masterwork that uses humor and honesty to explore themes around race and sexuality.
