Passing Strange, the new Broadway musical, offers web-surfers the opportunity to listen to four fresh new songs - available in both streaming audio and download-able on their expanded interactive website www.PassingStrangeOnBroadway.com/land/
The songs include "Amsterdam," "Arlington Hill," "Come Down Now" and "Keys" and give Broadway fans a taste of the sound and style of the new musical, which began previews February 8 prior to an official opening on Thursday, February 28 at the Belasco Theatre (111 West 44th Street).
"Amsterdam" features the vocal talents of cast member Rebecca Naomi Jones with the full cast. "Arlington Hill" is performed by Passing Strange co-creator and star Stew. "Keys" is performed by actress De'Adre Aziza, Passing Strange creators Stew and Heidi Rodewald and the ensemble and "Come Down Now," performed by actress Rebecca Naomi Jones, Stew, Rodewald and the musical's ensemble.
"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 L.A., the further he travels the more he discovers the journey within is the one that counts," explain press notes.
Book and lyrics by 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 features De'Adre Aziza, Daniel Breaker, Eisa Davis, Colman Domingo, Chad Goodridge, Rebecca Naomi Jones and Stew, himself. A band of consummate musicians joins the cast on stage, including co-creator Heidi Rodewald, along with Jon Spurney, Christian Cassan, Christian Gibbs and Stew.
Passing Strange performs Tuesdays at 7pm; Wednesdays - Saturdays at 8pm; Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2pm; and Sundays at 3pm at the Belasco Theatre (111 West 44th Street) on Broadway.
