Passing Strange, a new musical written by Stew, Heidi Rodewald, and Annie Dorsen, transfers to Broadway, directed by Dorsen, with movement coordination by Karole Armitage.

Developed at the Stanford Institute for Creativity the Arts, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and the Public Theater, the show takes audiences on an international journey from L.A. to Amsterdam, Berlin, and beyond as a young man from California searches for his identity. It features blues, rock and roll, gospel, and pop music written by Stew and Rodewald, who head the band The Negro Problem.

Review: A Must see by krismunroe

I loved this musical from the opening number. I felt like I was watching the new Rent. A fantastic ensemble cast. Every song is a gem. The performances are terrific. Stew is a major talent.

This innovative new musical won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Book and is soon to be a Spike Lee film. Singer-songwriter and performance artist Stew brings to the stage the story of a young black musician traveling from L.A. to Amsterdam to Berlin and back, all in search of “the real.” Heartfelt and hilarious, the soulful songs “pass” from gospel, punk, blues, jazz, and rock. The 15 songs are arranged in standard piano/vocal format with the melody in the piano part. Includes: Amsterdam • The Black One • Love like That • Mom Song • Must Have Been High • Work the Wound • Youth's Unfinished Song • and more. This item may require additional shipping time due to availability.
