Usher, Usher, Usher, Usher…

Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, A Strange Loop begins previews at the Lyceum Theatre tomorrow night, prior to an April 26 official opening. The buzzed-about musical features music, lyrics, and book by Michael R. Jackson, choreography by Raja Feather Kelly, and direction by Stephen Brackett. Jaquel Spivey reprises his role as Usher from the Washington, D.C. tryout late last year; rounding out the company are L Morgan Lee, James Jackson, Jr., John-Michael Lyles, John-Andrew Morrison, Jason Veasey, and Antwayn Hopper.

“Meet Usher: a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer…

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 wrestles with the thoughts in his head, brought to life on stage by a hilarious, straight-shooting ensemble. Bold and heartfelt in its truth-telling, A Strange Loop is the big, Black, and queer-ass Great American Musical for all!”

I’m curious if they’re doing an invited dress tonight, then.
