Somebody had truly said that grass looks always looks greener on the other side. Our musician learns this the hard way. He becomes a part of the sleazy society of Amsterdam where drugs are the order of the day. He has a series of love affairs there. Berlin is not better. It’s marked with politics and chaos. Immorality is a way of life there. Again, our musician faces a hard time keeping up his integrity and moral values. He has no choice but to present himself coming from a poor background in order to get ahead.
Lastly, our musician returns home. It’s not everything bad that our musician brings back home; he also brings some terrific musical styles in jazz, blues, and rock. So, can we say that our musician has a successful journey? At least, he got what every musician desires – different musical styles, depicting different cultures! Well, it’s for you to decide. Watch Passing Strange and experience the musical voyage!
The show has been created by Stew and Heidi Rodewald. This is the same duo that had formed the band named Stew. It won two Album of the Year Awards for its mind blowing numbers “Guest Host” and “The Naked Dutch Painter.” The duo, in 2000, patented the unique Afro-baroque sound used in the show.
Passing Strange was first shown at Berkeley Repetory Theater of California in the year 2006. Later, the show ran at the Public Theater through May and June, 2007. In 2008, the premier of the show was held at the Belasco Theater of Broadway on February 28.
The creative team of “Passing Strange” includes:
Stew – author of book, lyricist, and music composer
Heidi Rodewald – music composer
Annie Dorsen – director
Elizabeth Ireland McCann – producer
Karole Armitage – choreographer
David Korins – scene designer
Devin Adams – light designer
Elizabeth Hope Clancy – costume designer
Besides the above, there is the entire star cast which, with their realistic portrayal of each character, has made the entire story come to life on stage!
The story of Passing Strange is witty and makes you think about things that you have in life and things that you crave for, and whether those cravings are really worth it. The lyrics of each song carry a meaning that unveils with its melodious tune.
It’s not just our musician who learns something from his journey; the audience learns too. It’s a refreshing and entertaining experience watching this Broadway show.
