Jackson, choreographer Raja Feather Kelly, and members of the cast of A Strange Loop. The event offers a special welcome to Black theatergoers to be in attendance.
"I was blown away the first time I saw Michael R. Jackson's A Strange Loop and have returned a few times since," said Noah. "It is one of the funniest and most poignant shows I've ever seen. I'm excited to host this special performance and to get to talk to the company about this brilliant and vital piece of theatre."
Trevor Noah is a successful comedian and is the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Trevor has written, produced, and starred in 12 comedy specials, including his upcoming, "I Wish You Would," his third for Netflix, premiering globally November 22. Noah recently announced his 28 city "Off The Record" comedy tour.

Meet Usher: a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer...
Michael R. Jackson's Pulitzer Prize-winning, blisteringly funny masterwork exposes the heart and soul of a young 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 on stage by a hilarious, straight-shooting ensemble. Bold and heartfelt in its truth-telling, A Strange Loop is the big, Black, and queer-ass Great American Musical for all.
A STRANGE LOOP made its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons, in May 2019, in association with Page 73 Productions. In December 2021, the show had a critically acclaimed run at Washington, D.C.'s Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company prior to coming to Broadway.
GHOSTLIGHT RECORDS and YELLOW SOUND LABEL released the original Broadway cast recording of A Strange Loop on June 10, 2022.
