Recently “A Strange Loop,” the Tony Award winning musical playing at the Lyceum Theatre on West 45th Street, held a Black theater night that included a talkback.
After watching this very original musical about a fat, Black gay man writing a musical about a fat, Black, gay man writing a musical, the audience was treated to a fantastic talkback hosted by Trevor Noah from “The Daily Show.” Noah, a huge fan of the musical, shared that this makes his fourth time seeing the show.
Noah, speaking to James Jackson Jr.—Thought 2, Daily Self-Loathing, Usher’s mother—shared that every character he delivers seems very intentional. “I think you have to just tell the truth as much as possible without the idea of making fun of someone, and I think people seem to relate to that,” Jackson said.
John Michel Reese, understudy for Thoughts 4, 5, 6, played Thought 6 that evening. Noah said that he loved Reese’s interpretation of the character. “It’s a crazy role to do. I think of it as chaotic. He’s here and he’s all over the place. I ultimately try to go and have fun.”
