THE STORY: From singer-songwriter and performance artist Stew comes PASSING STRANGE, a daring musical that takes you on a journey across boundaries of place, identity and theatrical convention. Stew brings us the story of a young bohemian who charts a course for "the real" through sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Loaded with soulful lyrics and overflowing with passion, the show takes us from black middle-class America to Amsterdam, Berlin and beyond on a journey towards personal and artistic authenticity.
"Fresh, exuberant, bracingly inventive, bitingly funny, and full of heart." - NY Times. "Smashes Broadway clich?s with an electric guitar and the funniest libretto I can remember." - New York Magazine. "The freshest musical in town! The songs rock harder than anything else on Broadway." - Wall Street Journal. "With excellent songs and a vulnerable heart, PASSING STRANGE could join
Hedwig and the Angry Inch as a punk musical milestone." - Variety. "Stew tweaks the received wisdom of racial identity as cannily and wittily as any playwright since George C. Wolfe when he unleashed
The Colored Museum in 1986." - NY Sun.
