Meet Usher: A Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer.
Nominated for 11 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Michael R. Jacksons 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 onstage and in this cast recording 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!
