This Tony Award-winning musical by singer-songwriter and performance artist Stew takes viewers on a journey across boundaries of place, identity, and theatrical convention. Passing Strange concerns a young bohemian who charts a course for “the real” through sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Loaded with soulful lyrics and overflowing with passion, the story takes the audience from Black middle-class America to Amsterdam, Berlin, and beyond on a journey towards personal and artistic authenticity.
