ABOUT THE SHOW
Winner! 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 2022 Tony Award for Best Musical!
Michael R. Jackson’s blisteringly funny masterwork "A STRANGE LOOP" exposes the heart and soul of a young artist grappling with desires, identity, and instincts he both loves and loathes.
Meet Usher: a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer.
Usher wrestles with the thoughts in his head in an attempt to capture and understand his own "STRANGE LOOP."
