Passing Strange is a 2008 Tony Award-winning comedy-drama, autobiographical rock musical about a young African American's artistic journey of self-discovery, with strong elements of philosophical existentialism, metafiction, and the artistic journey. The musical's lyrics and book are by Stew with music and orchestrations by Heidi Rodewald and Stew. Call it a rock concert with a story to tell, trimmed with a lot of great jokes. Or call it a sprawling work of performance art, complete with angry rants and scary drag queens... I'll just call it wonderful, and a welcome anomaly on Broadway. The New York Times Running February 16 - March 5 / Thursdays through Sundays / two shows on Saturdays. Join our Spotlight Series Partners on these dates!
