"With a score that has some of the most tuneful, soulful
rock songs, and witty, thought-provoking lyrics in recent memory, Passing Strange is the moving and
hilarious tale of a young black bohemian on a journey of escape and
exploration: leaving the confines of his middle-class, church-reared youth in
south central L.A., the further he travels the more he discovers the journey
within is the one that counts," explain press notes.
Passing Strange has
choreography by Karole Armitage; scenic design for Passing Strange is by David Korins,
costume design by Elizabeth Hope Clancy, and lighting design by Kevin Adams.

book and lyrics by the popular singer/songwriter Stew, and with music
