If you ever needed a reason to go out to a Broadway show, it’s easily now through January 15 to witness an unforgettable performance through Michael R. Jackson’s amazing ‘A Strange Loop’ production. Reality TV star Bob the Drag Queen put together a wild evening for the Big, Black and Queer Night celebration of the must-see musical.
Everyone from Bob and Jackson to choreographer Raja Feather Kelley made sure to pull up last Thursday (October 27). Peep the details and keep scrolling to see everyone linked up - all photos come courtesy of Marc J. Franklin.
lack and LGBTQ+ joy was on full display at the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway on Thursday as Bob The Drag Queen hosted Big, Black and Queer night at A Strange Loop. The show won the Tony Award for Best Musical. I’m writing to see if you can run a piece with the photos from Big, Black and Queer Night for your readers.
The actor, comic and season eight winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, who can be seen on We’re Here on HBOMax, helped celebrate the historic strides the Tony-winning musical has ushered in for Black and queer representation in theater and American culture.
Following the musical’s 7 p.m. performance Bob The Drag Queen led a talkback with A Strange Loop cast members and creatives before a diverse audience which included celebrity guests Peppermint, Mila Jam, DJ 2Face, Kizah Carr, Basit and more out to celebrate the event during LGBT History Month.
The Tony Award-winning Best Musical centers around Usher, a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer… Michael R. Jackson’s 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 on stage 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.
A Strange Loop runs on Broadway through January 15.
