Passing Strange in the Press

"PLAYBILL VIP SPOTLIGHT: New York City High School Is First to Stage Rock Musical Passing Strange"

TDF Play x Play "Passing Strange at the Beacon School"

Some shots from behind the scenes-


Eloise sneaks a little peek from backstage "Keys/ It's Alright".

"From Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Berlin and back, Passing Strange takes musical theater on a whole new trip. From singer-songwriter and performance artist Stew comes Passing Strange, a daring new musical that takes you on a journey across boundaries of place, identity and theatrical convention. Stew, a popular performer at Joe's Pub, was commissioned by The Public Theater of New York to develop this heartfelt and hilarious story of a young bohemian who charts a course for “the real” through sex, drugs and rock and roll. Loaded with soulful lyrics and overflowing with passion, the show takes us from black, middle-class America to Amsterdam, Berlin and beyond on a journey towards personal and artistic authenticity."
