Passing Strange - West End History , Info & More

The European premiere of the Tony Award-winning rock musical, Passing Strange.



You know, it's weird when you wake up in the morning and realize that your entire adult life was based on a decision made by a teenager. A stoned teenager.



A young, Black musician sets out on an electrifying musical odyssey to find himself and his place in the world, swapping his middle-class L.A. upbringing for punk rock and protest in 1980s Amsterdam and Berlin.



Liesl Tommy (Aretha Franklin biopic Respect, Tony nominated Eclipsed) directs the European premiere of Passing Strange, with book and lyrics by Stew and music by Stew Stewart & Heidi Rodewald.



“A thrilling score in which rock, punk, funk and gospel conduct a revival meeting that blows the roof off” *(Rolling Stone - Broadway, 2008)*



"Its big heart throbs to the sound of electric guitars... Richer in wit, feeling and sheer personality than most of what is classified as musical theater" *(New York Times - Broadway, 2008)*
