my left ear loved this
i tottally thought I had lost/broken one more headphone
@@Vbluesky30 same!!!
Simply stunning. I went on Monday and had full body chills through the opening number. The musical has moved into my Top 5 musicals ever. Fantastic. Go see it.
kyles voice is fucking amazing-how i wish he was on a cd of the show!
And sounds even better in person, if you can imagine! I had the opportunity to see Kyle in A Strange Loop after I believe Kyle had either taken over the role fully or was the standby, and I'm grateful I did. An absolutely staggering performance. I just cannot imagine having to go through that emotional and physical arc eight times per week. Obviously, Kyle's a trained professional. But still, that's quite the story arc to have to play, day in day out. It was one of the most memorable stage performances I've ever seen.
I'm thrilled to see that A Strange Loop has now started having regional productions. As much as I loved the Broadway production, it was a challenge to fully appreciate the material in such a large space. It's such an intimate and tender show, and emotionally brutal at times. I anticipate it will work even better on smaller stages of regional houses.
We need a proshot of this 🙏🏻
Apparently it was filmed at the Barbican.
Went last week and now I'm obsessed with the soundtrack. Simply brilliant!
Completely adore this cast!
Please put him on the cast album he deserves it
Has Liz Phair ever heard this? It’s such a cool cultural homage wrapped in a heartbreaking perspective
This guy has an amazing voice and should be singing good songs because he has a huge gift
Is he better than the original
Can’t compare, but he’s magnificent!!!
They're both equally qualified to play the role, and it is entirely fruitless to compare artists.
