“A Strange Loop,” Michael R. Jackson’s award-winning musical, announced it is ending its Broadway run in just a few months.
The musical, a “meta narrative following Usher, a Black queer man writing a musical about a Black queer man writing a musical,” won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2020 and two Tony Awards earlier this year for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical for Jackson.
“A Strange Loop” opened on Broadway April 26 and will end up playing a total of 314 performances when it closes Jan. 15.
“Though ‘A Strange Loop’ is not autobiographical, it is my life’s work. … I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to share this raw, vulnerable and personal story with the world,” Jackson said in the press release.
