New in 2008
Storyteller "Stew" moves his possibly-autobiographical blues show uptown from the Public Theatre.
Closes 7/20/2008


The Broadway production of Passing Strange closed July 20, 2008. For current Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.

One of the great things about downtown's Public Theatre is the hip bar/cabaret Joe's Pub so 'dangerously near'. As a result, the usual gaggle of classical-theatre subscribers mix on the sidewalk with the patrons of the avant-garde scene taking a smoke break thirty feet away. Here, blues/rock raconteur "Stew" leaps from the small club to the midtown razzle-dazzle of Broadway by way of the Public Mainstage with an ostensibly fictional show, but one which he acknowledges to be largely a story based on a life. His, to be specific.

Don't expect a traditional Broadway musical - it's more a concert with a lot of storytelling worked into the mix - the affable lead singer talks about his strange travels and artistic experiences, there are some skits, and the whole thing vanishes into a song from time to time.

The critical reception was almost universally warm - see "Critics Ratings", below - everyone had a good time, even if they weren't exactly comfortable calling it a "play" in the traditional sense.
