It has been confirmed that A STRANGE LOOP is coming to London this summer!
After its huge success on Broadway, the musical will open at the Barbican Theatre between 17 June - 9 September 2023.
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.
Listen to the crowd and you'll hear them shouting the EUGENIUS cast announcement!
