## About *A Strange Loop *
**Michael R. Jackson**'s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, *A Strange Loop*, has received 11 Tony Award nominations and won every Best Musical award in New York. The show follows Usher, a young, Black, gay writer who despises his day job and decides to create a musical about a young, gay, Black writer who is also composing a musical about a young, gay, Black writer. Through this meta-narrative, Usher grapples with his conflicting desires, identity and instincts, which are humorously portrayed by a candid ensemble cast.
