Attention Broadway enthusiasts! The LGBTQ+ musical A Strange Loop is set to end in 2023. According to Variety, the critically acclaimed musical will be closing its doors on 15 January.
The news comes nine months after the show made its Broadway debut at the Lyceum Theater on 26 April. In a report from Deadline, ticket sales have been on the decline in recent months, with their 4 October show only filling 79% of its seats.
In response to the news, creator Michael R Jackson expressed his gratitude for the show and being able to bring a “raw” and “vulnerable” project to life. “Though A Strange Loop is not autobiographical, it is my life’s work.
As such, I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to share this raw, vulnerable and personal story with the world and to have connected with so many enthusiastic, loving audiences,” he said in a statement. “I’m also indebted to the many extraordinary collaborators and institutions past and present that made the telling of this unique story possible.
