Free Music Notes for Passing Strange
Free Music Review: Interesting music
Hit: 4 Stars
This music grows on you. Very atypical Broadway music, but still likable. Definitely has adult themes. Interesting production of some of the songs. I feel I know Stew after listening to this cast recording!
Passing Strange Poster
Following in the footsteps of Duncan Sheik and Spring Awakening, L.A.'s Stew (who's released albums both solo and with his band, The Negro Problem) made the transition from the pop-rock scene to Broadway in 2008. The show for which he wrote the book and score, Passing Strange, was not as commercially successful as Spring Awakening, but from a musical point of view, it's an even better, very funny, wildly inventive gem about shaping your identity. Backed by a rocking quartet that includes co-composer Heidi Rodewald on bass, Stew himself acts/sings the narrator, leading us through the coming of age of his hero, Youth (Daniel Breaker), from Southern California to Amsterdam to Berlin and back. Recorded live, this album captures the score's energy and depth. The songs can be hard-hitting ("Merci Beaucoup, M. Godard," "Berlin: A Black Hole with Taxis"), but Stew writes particularly lovely ballads, like the heartbreaking "Arlington Hill," "Keys," "Come Down Now" and "Work the Wound," which gains power as it builds up to an angry climax. This is a great score that deserves to be heard. -- Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
