Trevor Noah Hosts ‘Black Theater Night’ at Broadway’s ‘A Strange Loop’ – Black Theater Matters
last night Trevor Noahcomedian, creator and acclaimed host, hosted “Black Theater Night” for the Tony Award-winning Best Musical , together with hilarious and insightful commentary from the forged. The event was open to all theater lovers, but a special invitation was prolonged to black theatergoers.
Playwright, composer and lyricist Michael R. Jackson, creator ; Choreographer Raja Feather Kelly and music director Rona Siddiqui joined Noah and the forged members James Jackson, Jr.; L Morgan Lee; John-Michael Lyles; John-Andrew Morrison; Jon-Michael Reese; Jaquel Spivey AND Jason Veasey For conversation.
“I’ve been four times now and it’s funny (but) every time I come I feel like I’m focusing on something different, I’m learning something different and there’s a different part of the art that’s almost revealed to me,” said Noah, who called this show, “one of the most famous and praised productions on Broadway.” The comic also congratulated the series on its recent Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album.
Noah went on to say, “What interests me most about that is, for instance, whenever you see a play for the primary time, you may think, depending on who you might be, ‘Oh, it is a play about black and white.’ The second time you watch it, you may think, “Oh no.” It’s a play about religion and the way it controls people’s lives and the way it tells us what we should always and should not be like. Then it’s about acceptance. Each time I feel prefer it’s a unique layer. And really, the more I watch it, I realize that it’s almost like a commentary on all these little prisons, all these structures, all these systems, and possibly essentially the most limiting one is our mind.
There are only seven weeks left until the Pulitzer Prize winner, which can make its final Broadway appearance on January 15. The show opened to critical acclaim on April 26 at the Lyceum Theater (149 West forty fifth Street). The musical was directed by a Tony Award nominee Stephen Brackettchoreographed by Kelly and produced by Barbara Witman, along with Page 73 Productions, Woolly Mammoth Theater Company AND Horizons of playwrights.
Meet Usher: a black queer author writing a musical a few black queer author writing a musical a few black queer author…
Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, devastatingly funny masterpiece reveals the center and soul of a young artist combating desires, identity and instincts that he each loves and hates. Wanting to interrupt free from his own self-perception, Usher grapples with the thoughts in his head, delivered to life on stage by an entertaining, direct band. Bold and honest in speaking the reality, that is an ideal black and queer great American musical for all.
