A STRANGE LOOP confirms London premiere

Written by Michael R Jackson, this Pulitzer Prize winning show explores themes of identity, self-worth and the creative writing process.

A Strange Loop tells the story of Usher, a black queer writer who is struggling to break into their dream industry. Seeking validation for their work, Usher starts to write a musical about a black queer writer seeking validation, and reimagines his own life story in the process.

Featuring a score that mashes up multiple genres, you can expect to hear a range of numbers which blend gospel, R&B and musical theatre.

Directed by Stephen Brackett, other creatives announced for this highly anticipated transfer production include:

• Choreography by Raja Feather Kelly
• Music supervision by Rona Siddiqui
• Orchestrations by Charlie Rosen
• Scenic design by Arnulfo Maldonado
• Costume design by Montana Levi Blanco
• Lighting by Jen Schriever
• Sound by Drew Levy

A Strange Loop will open at the Barbican Theatre from 17 June, and tickets go on sale on 20 March.
