Episode 54 Michael R. Jackson: A Strange Loop

On this week’s show, Rob and Jamie are back at Orso Restaurant.
They sit down with composer, lyricist, and playwright Michael R.
Jackson, creator of "A Strange Loop”, a fantastic new musical that
played Off-Broadway last summer. “A Strange Loop” is a
“self-referential” musical by and about “a black, queer man writing
a musical about a black, queer man who’s writing a musical about a
black queer man”. Together, they talk about the fascinating
development and construction of the show. A bit later, Rob gives a
closer look at other landmark black theatre artists whose work has
shaped and expanded the American theatre.  This week’s music:
“Intermission Song”, “Inner White Girl”, “We Wanna Know”, “Memory
Song”, “Writing A Gospel Play”, “Periodically,” and “A Strange
Loop”, all from “A Strange Loop”. “One Life To Live Theme”, by
Peabo Bryson. Find us on Twitter & Instagram:
