The smash hit Broadway musical sensation A Strange Loop will switch from New York to London this summer time opening on the Barbican Theatre on 17 June for a strictly restricted one-time-only 12-week season.
Nominated for 11 Tony Awards and winner of each Best Musical award in New York, Michael R. Jackson’s critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize–successful, blisteringly humorous masterwork exposes the center and soul of Usher – a younger, homosexual, Black author who hates his day job, so writes a musical a couple of younger, homosexual, Black author who’s writing a musical a couple of younger, homosexual, Black author…a wierd loop. Usher grapples with needs, identification and instincts he each loves and loathes, all dropped at life on stage by a hilarious, straight-talking ensemble.
A Strange Loop is simply the tenth musical to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama with the earlier winner being Hamilton, with the committee citing the present as a “metafictional musical that tracks the creative process of an artist transforming issues of identity, race, and sexuality that once pushed him to the margins of the cultural mainstream into a meditation on universal human fears and insecurities.”
The New York critics heaped plaudits on this sensational manufacturing: The New York Times mentioned the present was a “dazzling ride” and “no measure of praise could be too much”. The Wall Street Journal described the present as “hilarious, intimate and personal” including that “A Strange Loop is extraordinary in just about every way. It represents theater at its most daring and unexpected”. And Variety summed it up, hailing A Strange Loop as “the most furiously entertaining show on Broadway”.
