White Girl in Danger
With the musical, “A Strange Loop,” playwright, composer, and lyricist Michael R. Jackson won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2022 Tony Award for Best Musical.
Now, on the heel of that accomplishment comes his musical, “White Girl in Danger.”
“Y’all ain’t ready. Y’all ain’t ready,” he announced to the world on Twitter.
24HourNation commented that the show “looks intellectually delicious.”
Jackson replied to us, “Thinking caps and heart strings will be burnt ALL THE WAY up! #WhiteGirlInDanger”
The website for “White Girl in Danger” describes the show as a “fever dream mashup of classic daytime and primetime soap operas, Lifetime movies, and red-hot melodrama.”
“The citizens of the soap opera town Allwhite face high-stakes drama and intrigue all the days of their lives. But Keesha Gibbs and the other Blackgrounds have been relegated to backburner stories of slavery and police violence for all of theirs.
“Keesha is determined to step out of the Blackground and into the center of Allwhite’s juiciest stories. Can Keesha handle the Allwhite attention—especially from the Allwhite Killer on the loose? What role do the other Blackgrounds play in Keesha’s Allwhite schemes? And just whose story is this anyway?”
Oh, my … We are buying tickets.
