A Strange Loop is on its victory lap
The must-see theatrical performance of the year is slated to give jam-packed audiences a final set this winter. January 15 marks the last chance people have to pull through for an unforgettable live set with an epic cast.
There’s only 14 more weeks to see the Tony Award-winning Best Musical A STRANGE LOOP which will play its final Broadway performance on January 15, 2023.
Michael R. Jackson’s A STRANGE LOOP opened April 26, to critical acclaim at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). The musical is directed by Tony Award nominee Stephen Brackett, choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly, and produced by Barbara Whitman, along with Page 73 Productions, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and Playwrights Horizons.
“Bringing A STRANGE LOOP to Broadway has been extraordinary. Michael R. Jackson is one of the most important voices of this generation, and we’re thrilled that so many enthusiastic audience members have been able to experience his monumental musical,” said producer Barbara Whitman, “We look forward to having more theatre lovers come see the show in its final weeks.”
“Though A STRANGE LOOP is not autobiographical, it is my life's work. As such, I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to share this raw, vulnerable, and personal story with the world and to have connected with so many enthusiastic, loving audiences,” said creator Michael R. Jackson, “I am also indebted to the many extraordinary collaborators and institutions past and present that made the telling of this unique story possible. You each will have a piece of my heart, soul, and my loop forever.”
And never for the cap around these parts. So it’s only right to highlight all of the praise and appreciation Jackson’s project has received in recent months.
