| Frankly, I didn't even know Spivey was still in ''A Strange Loop.'' He's had a history of missing a number of shows. But he got some good news lately. He's been cast as Damien in Tina Fey's upcoming movie musical of ''Mean Girls.'' Googling also brought up this Ebony article (from May 2022) that touches on ''A Strange Loop'' and Tyler Perry. |

| He’s also had a history of sinus infections. Let’s not lambast people for health issues. | |

| And it's worth noting: this show introduced a stellar alternative, who delivers a comparable performance: Kyle Ramar Freeman. I saw the gifted Freeman, as did a many friends. Not a person voiced regret at missing the star. Why, I've never read a single such post on a theater board! I've read a few comments that parsed and praised aspects of Freeman's work that even give him a slight edge. But they're not in competition. And rather than turn into a negative anecdote about one actor's attendance, I would hope that this show might be a model for shared roles. I can't recall another instance in which two people were introduced simultaneously in a demanding role with so much good will expressed toward both. The glass is decidedly half full here. |
