A Strange Loop, the ground-breaking and critically acclaimed winner of every ‘Best Musical’ award on Broadway and the Pulitzer Prize, bursts onto the stage of the Barbican this June for a one time only, limited season.

Grab your chance to see Michael R. Jackson’s blisteringly funny, ‘audacious and uproarious’ (*The Guardian*) heart-felt masterwork, which exposes a young black 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 onstage by a hilarious, straight-shooting Ensemble.

A Strange Loop is ‘a dazzling ride’ (New York Time*), ‘screamingly funny. Unmissable. The musical we’ve been waiting for' and this is your ONLY chance to see it in the UK.
