Passing Strange Tour???

So I recently read an interview where Stew expressed extreme interest in a post-Broadway tour with Passing Strange. (Granted this was back when the show was on Broadway) Is that still on the table? Or did the low post-Tony attendance at the Belasco squash the possibility?

The Spike Lee film might actually peak interest in it again, so if the ratings for it are good, a tour may be a possibility

Does anyone know when the Spike Lee film will be released?

Nothing yet. They haven't announced how it's going to be released either. I think we should know something by the end of the year.

I don't think a tour would work. I don't think they'd want to tour it anyway. I think limited-engagement productions in LA, SF, and/or London, would be amazing though.

I agree. Touring wouldn't really work for this, but short runs in some major cities would. I'm hoping for Chicago, personally.

BBO NYC is taking booking inquiries, so it seems something is being planned.

I'd stalk it around a few states for sure.

If true, I'd travel the globe to catch it again.
