The Young Vic hosts the European premiere of the Tony Award-winning rock musical, Passing Strange.
You know, it's a little weird when you wake up one morning and realize that the basis of your entire adult life has been based on a single decision made by a teenager. A very stoned teenager.
A young, Black musician embarks on an electrifying musical odyssey in an attempt to carve out his place in the world and find himself, swapping a suburban middle-class L.A. upbringing for protest and punk rock in 1980s Berlin and Amsterdam.
Liesl Tommy directs Passing Strange in its European premiere at the Young Vic with book and lyrics by Stew and music by Heidi Rodewald and Stew Stewart.
“A thrilling score in which rock, funk, punk, and gospel conduct a revival meeting that blows the roof off” (Rolling Stone - Broadway, 2008)
"Its big heartthrobs to the sound of electric guitars... Richer in wit, feeling and sheer personality than most of what is classified as musical theater" (New York Times - Broadway, 2008)
