Read TimTeeman’s review of the TonyAwards winner “A Strange Loop”
. Usher does not want to write the musical that Broadway and off-Broadway producers want him to write. He cannot stand Tyler Perry and everything Tyler Perry stands for; and Beyoncé stands castigated too.
“Strange Loop” is also the title of a song by Liz Phair , and for a time—when the musical was first called—Jackson had been trying to get permission to use her songs in the play. Then he read about Hofstadter’s theory, “which was weird. I hadn’t realized I had been writing about the theory the whole time. I changed the title.” There is a brilliant song about the guilty pleasure Usher takes in the behavior and power-wielding of the “white girls” he and Jackson are fascinated by.
Stephen Brackett, the show’s director, has crafted a scaled-up version of what those who fortunate to have seen the show in 2019 may remember; Arnulfo Maldonado’s sleek, illuminated set features little doorways and corridors out of which pop his innermost thoughts and extremely opinionated inner demons, played by Antwayn Hopper, James Jackson Jr., L Morgan Lee, John-Michael Lyles, John-Andrew Morrison, and Jason Veasey.
