 Rating:  - Strangely Passing"Passing Strange" defies all musical theater dictums and is actually a recorded performance of what was really more of a concert than a traditional Broadway musical. So what's wrong with that? There have been a lot of complaints on both sides of the fence about "Passing Strange", i.e., that it's "rock" and doesn't belong on a Broadway stage, or that Broadway music is dead and this is so much better. Well, both sides miss the point. More challenging yet just as necessary as the more accessible ...

Their loss, but you can get a feel for this exuberant score from the excellent cast recording. Rating: - Really Good!I really enjoyed this show, and the CD captures it unusually well. I think it was a great choice the producers made in taping it live, as it captures the heart of the music. Browse for similar items by category:
