Passing Strange

If anyone in headed to NYC anytime soon, this show (see title) looks great. Here's a NYT vid about it;



And a couple of interviews with the creator here and here (it was on this weeks show). Short version, middle class black guy (autobiographical doppelganger for the shows creator Stew) leaves LA and goes to Europe. Lives in Amsterdam and Berlin, sings about it. Songs sound great, although a cast recording isn't out yet. Creator Stew is founder of the rock band "The Negro Problem" (which is an awesome name, in my opinion).

Anyway, the songs (at least what I've heard), have rocked, and it's not another rehash of The Producers, if I was headed up there, it's what I'd want to see.
