Free Music Notes for Passing Strange

Hit: 4 Stars
When I saw "Passing Strange" last May, I left feeling that I had just witnessed something new (& even amazing), but couldn't really summarize my impression and wasn't sure if the piece was meant for Broadway. The cast members, led by Stew and Daniel Breaker, were all excellent.
The score is fresh, but only a couple of songs, "Keys" and "Amsterdam", seemed memorable at the time. Upon repeated listenings of the cd, however, many others jumped out as well. Feels more and more like a a great rock record. Terrific!
Best Songs:
Amsterdam
Keys (Marianne)
Keys (It's Alright)
We Just Had Sex
Come Down Now
Love Like That

Hit: 4 Stars
While Rodgers and Hammerstein and Andrew Loyd Webber are booming on Broadway, some interesting new voices are being heard and Stew is among the best. The style is contemporary and should be heard by everyone, but unfortunately the show had to clsoe because business is business and not enough people showed up to support it. Their loss, but you can get a feel for this exuberant score from the excellent cast recording.
