UPCOMING x A STRANGE LOOP
The New York Times called it
“a thrillingly original and provocative masterpiece.”
Variety lauded it as
“a groundbreaking work that challenges and delights.”
The Guardian described it as
“a daring exploration of self and society that resonates with powerful authenticity and humor.”
What will Dallas-Fort Worth audiences have to say?
You’ll find out soon as Circle Theatre proudly announces its first Mainstage Musical of the Season: the regional premiere of the highly acclaimed A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning musical reshaped American Theater during its celebrated Broadway run and took home the 2022 Tony Award for Best Musical. A Strange Loop offers a bold and exhilarating dive into the life of Usher, a Black queer musical theater writer navigating his identity, creativity, and personal challenges as he crafts a show about his own complex journey.
More than just a production, A Strange Loop promises to leave audiences both exhilarated and introspective long after the final curtain. With its raw, adult themes and vital exploration of the queer Black experience, this musical offers a unique blend of song and storytelling that is intensely relevant, and vitally important. Buckle up for a nonstop ride with an electric score that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

“A World Premiere, Pulitzer Prize Winner, Tony Winner, Regional Premieres, Comedies, Tragedies, Contemporary and Classic pieces redefined—THREE musicals, a brand new secondary performance space, and a whole lot more!"
"Circle Theatre’s 44th Season is our biggest ever, and it has something for everyone. From the world premiere of Destroying David, which confronts grief through art’s collision with personal tragedy to the groundbreaking ferocity of A Strange Loop, a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that redefines self and society — we are exploring both beautiful and difficult subjects. Fast forward all the way to the contemporary twist of Mac Beth, which reimagines Shakespeare through the lens of adolescence. These are only some of the productions in Circle’s 2025 Season, where we invite you to witness how art reflects and reshapes the human experience by sparking conversations, building communities, and igniting our minds.” —Ashley H. White, Artistic Director
