Welcome to Allwhite, a soap opera town where the white characters live out the juiciest, most thrilling drama and Black characters stay in the “Blackground.” One day, Blackground character Keesha steps forward and hijacks the white stories – but that makes her the target of a killer.
What will become of her and the other Blackgrounds after she takes the spotlight? You'll have to tune in to find out. Don’t miss Jackson’s viciously funny follow-up to his celebrated Broadway hit A Strange Loop, which earned Jackson the Pulitzer Prize, the Best Musical Tony Award, and more.

More information about White Girl in Danger
White Girl in Danger features a 12-person cast, with Keesha as the main character. She takes over the stories, lives, and even relationships of three white girls: Meagan Whitehead, Maegan Whitehall, and Megan White.
White Girl in Danger is the second major musical from Jackson. His first was A Strange Loop, which won a Pulitzer Prize and multiple Off-Broadway awards in 2020 and the Best Musical Tony Award for its 2022 Broadway premiere.
Directing is Lileana Blain-Cruz, who got a Best Direction of a Play Tony nomination for The Skin of Our Teeth in 2022. She also received an Obie Award for directing Marys Seacole at Lincoln Center Theater.
What to Watch For
- Jackson originally wanted to be a soap opera writer. He watched soap operas like Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless with his great-aunt as a child, and he even interned with All My Children in college!
- The White Girl in Danger musical spoofs the melodramatic plots and traits of these shows, as well as Lifetime movies.
- The first production of White Girl in Danger was a concert staging at New York Stage and Film in 2021, but Jackson has been working on the show since 2017.
- Latoya Edwards, who sang the role of Keesha in the 2021 concert, returns to the role for White Girl in Danger off Broadway.
- White Girl in Danger is a mini-Strange Loop reunion! In addition to Jackson, choreographer Raja Feather Kelly and actor James Jackson, Jr. are involved with this production.
