Passing Strange

Over a year ago I experienced a musical theater experience like no other; “Passing Strange”.  Like any live performance, the memories of that matinee or evening will eventually fade.  The true test however, is how long it takes for them to fade.  In the case of Passing Strange, they continue on for me.  The music, the talent, and most importantly the words…  Passing Strange is a beautiful and stirring musical journey through life that everyone can relate to.  The show is worthy of a lifelong run, but Broadway being what it is, this show closed well before its time, luckily it continues beyond the stage. 

Available on-demand via Time Warner, the story and words of Passing Strange are alive and well.   I can’t recommend this “movie” enough.  The show holds up very well on screen and that is a testament to the shows creators Heidi and Stew and the cast that told this story every night at the Belasco.  If you have some spare moments and want a true cinematic/theatrical experience order this film and immerse yourself into Passing Strange.  You will not be disappointed.  “Listening is waiting…”
