A breakout hit when it debuted at The Public Theatre last summer, PASSING STRANGE transfers to Broadway!

With book and lyrics by the popular singer/songwriter Stew, and with music by Stew and his longtime musical partner Heidi Rodewald, PASSING STRANGE is directed by and created in collaboration with Annie Dorsen. PASSING STRANGE is the first musical by Stew and Heidi Rodewald, best known for the Afro-baroque sound they have patented since 2000 when they formed the band Stew, promptly winning two Album of the Year Awards from Entertainment Weekly for their acclaimed works "Guest Host" and "The Naked Dutch Painter."

With a score that has some of the most tuneful, soulful rock songs, and witty, thought-provoking lyrics in recent memory, PASSING STRANGE is the moving and hilarious tale of a young, black bohemian on a journey of escape and exploration: leaving the confines of his middle-class, church-reared youth in South-Central LA, the further he travels the more he discovers the journey within is the one that counts. The score includes such Stew tunes as "Amsterdam," "Keys/It's Alright," "Love Like That," "Come Down Now," and "Arlington Hill."
