A Strange Loop
A Strange Loop | Michael R. Jackson
4 posts
Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama “To watch this show is to enter, by some urgent, bawdy magic, an ecstatic and infinitely more colorful version of the famous surreal lithograph by M. C. Escher: the hand that lifts from the page, becoming almost real, then draws another hand, which returns the favor. Which came first? A Strange Loop is complex, teasing, thrilling.” —Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker Usher is a Black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical: a piece about a Black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical. This blistering musical follows a young artist at war with a host of demons—not least of which are the punishing thoughts in his own head—in an attempt to understand his own strange loop.

I've been waiting two years to see this musical and I finally got to go today and THIS happened?!?!? The composer playing the lead, singing his own story, and entire company coming together to make sure the show still went on was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced in the theatre. I am overwhelmed and grateful and gonna be re-living this for quite some time. #SeeMoreTheatre

Send help, I can't read, I can't work, I can only listen to A Strange Loop over and over and over again. (JK don't send help, I love this prison of my own and Michael R. Jackson's making.) Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer, this musical is brilliant and beautiful and profane and heartbreaking. Theatre-loving Littens, have you gotten into it? #SeeMoreTheatre

LitStephanie I generally don't do musicals although I love theater. How much is singing vs dialog and action? 2y
Andrea313 @LitStephanie It skews toward more music, but there is still dialogue and scenework. The show is 100 minutes long and about an hour of that, give or take, is music. 2y
