Usher is a black, gay man determined to free himself from his low view of himself. Passionate about theatrical writing, he finds it difficult to reconcile his passion and his job as an usher at a Broadway theatre.
So, why not write a musical based on his own experience? A form of metatheatre, the musical A Strange Loop tells the story of Usher telling the story of Usher. But the young man's thoughts are often interrupted by his inner voices, personified on stage, which overwhelm Usher with destructive ideas influencing his view of himself.
Reading the plot, it's difficult to imagine A Strange Loop as a comedy. However, while it tackles important subjects, this surprising story is brought to life on stage by a talented cast who will make you laugh out loud!
This revolutionary musical is directed and produced by Stephen Brackett (Be More Chill). It premiered in 2019 in Washington. The show was then performed in 2022 in New York where it was nominated for 11 Tony Awards. A Strange Loop won two, Best Musical and Best Libretto.
A hilarious and eccentric show, A Strange Loop tackles important subjects such as identity, race, and sexuality. Be ready for an unforgettable journey in the company of a man in search of his identity and self-acceptance.

The seats marked by a half-coloured circle indicate less good visibility (these seats are often at the back and so you can't see the whole set). We recommend avoiding them when selecting your seats.
