GAY FUCKING EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME SERIES But the best way to describe “A Strange Loop” is as a concept musical about self-loathing. Usher is a poor musical-theater writer, working as an usher at “The Lion King” (the choice to have “A Strange Loop” play on the same street as Pride Rock is a touch of producorial genius).

Usher is fat, which his doctor shames him about. He is gay, which his churchgoing parents shame him about. And he is Black, which society shames him about.Īnd Usher has internalized all that negativity - he is surrounded by a chorus of his intrusive, demoralizing “Thoughts.” The chorus is played by six Black actors who refreshingly have different body types and different outfits (in neutral yet flattering tones from Montana Levi Blanco). Director Stephen Brackett and choreographer Raja Feather Kelly have given each chorus member room to add their own personal flair in the choreographed group numbers (no doubt each audience member will leave with a favorite Thought). The show’s lyrics are the cleverest of the season, with the opening number “Intermission Song” filled with rhymes that would make Sondheim proud: “They’ll say it’s way too repetitious/And so overly ambitious/Which of course makes them suspicious/That you think you’re fucking white!” It’s a rhyme scheme and rhythm that brings to mind “Putting It Together” from “Sunday in the Park with George.” The story within “A Strange Loop” would be tragic if it wasn’t also side-splittingly funny. Jackson’s music influences also run deep, from golden age showtunes to Sondheim to gospel music. He successfully mixes the traditional musical and church songs with the contemporary and profane - the song “AIDS Is God’s Punishment” is so rousing that you want to stand up and testify, except the song is completely homophobic, and is an indictment of church-sanctioned homophobia.
