One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord Of one lone black gay boy, I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord Hilton Als: How long was the process between that monologue and you reaching the stage at Playwrights Horizon?
The song that came out of that was the song Memory Song which would end up being the penultimate song in A Strange Loop. I decided to try my hand finally at writing my own song. I went to grad school about nine months later. Just reflecting on lots of whatever was going on in the world at that time. I started writing this monologue that was about a young Black gay man walking around New York wondering why life was so terrible. America was about to go to war with Iraq and I was just like just this little Black gay boy sitting upstairs in this old lady's house. My student loans were coming due and my parents wanted to know what I was going to do with my life. I was like, "What am I going to do? I don't know what to do." I just lived upstairs in this bungalow-style house. Then you take a bus from the train to get to her house. Then I moved into the little lady's house in Jamaica Queens all the way at the last stop on the e-train and the f-train. My friend Keisha had been living in this little lady's house in Jamaica Queens and she got a live-in nanny job in Tribeca. Jackson: I studied at NYU in the Dramatic Writing Program. At the time I was about 22, 23 years old and I was just very uncertain of my place in the world and where I would go with a BFA degree. Jackson: It started as a monologue initially that I wrote in between graduating from undergrad playwriting and going to grad school for musical theater writing. I wanted to ask you for the folks out there, what was the genesis of you writing a play about a gay musical theater playwright working as an usher, talking about his life while trying to write a musical about AIDS and among other things. There's just been nothing like it, Michael. Hilton Als: One of the things that is so extraordinary about this show is that we have never seen anything remotely like it on stage or in a book or in a movie. Staff writer Hilton Als talk with Michael R. Usher sings about the terror of the blank page and the terrors of dating and sex and all in terms that are quite frank, which we'll hear in some of the clips played in this interview, just so you're aware. He's a Black queer writer who is writing a musical about a Black queer writer who is writing about a Black queer writer. A Strange Loop is about a man named Usher who also happens to work as an usher. It begins its run on Broadway this month. His musical A Strange Loop won the Pulitzer prize in 2020. Jackson, a 41-year-old composer in playwright. Host: Michael, oh my God, you're on Broadway.
