I just went over the weekend to Passing Strange. I found it to be extremely entertaining. A bit of a travelogue combining a young man's search for himself amidst the very different cultures of Amsterdam, Berlin and South Central L.A.

"Passing Strange Good Adaptation of Broadway"

We loved this Broadway rock musical and this was a well done rep version. Although shorter, the staging and performers were up to the task of taking Stew's work in a slightly different direction.
