To stay sane on the road, he's consistently penned verses that sometimes morphed into songs, and other times remained 'snapshots of what was flying by, just out of reach, so as to savor at a later date when the wheels stop rolling....'
Today in 2008, Passing Strange closed at the Belasco Theatre, where it ran for 165 performances.

The musical's lyrics and book are by Stew with music and orchestrations by Heidi Rodewald and Stew. It was created in collaboration with director Annie Dorsen. The musical was developed at the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab in 2004 and 2005, one of the only works there ever to be invited back for a second round of development. It had productions in Berkeley, California and Off-Broadway before opening on Broadway in 2008, garnering strong reviews and several awards. Spike Lee filmed the musical on Broadway as a documentary, premiering the film in 2009.
