Michael R. Jackson

A Strange Loop (Original Broad Michael R. Jackson

The Pulitzer Prize-winning big, Black, and queer American musical is now on Broadway! Meet Usher: a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer... Composer Michael R. Jackson's Pulitzer Prize-winning, blisteringly funny masterwork exposes the heart and soul of a young artist grappling with desires, identity, and instincts he both loves and loathes. Hell-bent on breaking free of his own self-perception, Usher (performed by Jaquel Spivey in his Broadway debut) wrestles with the thoughts in his head, brought to life onstage by a hilarious, straight-shooting ensemble. Bold and heartfelt in it's truth-telling, A Strange Loop is the big, Black, and queer-ass Great American Musical for all!
