I need to get to St. Louis next year. haha I was one of the few who liked Cry Baby. And if their editing it maybe it can get even better.
Those poor people. I wouldn't subject my worst enemy to any of those horrendous pieces of crap.
Passing Strange was one of the most philosophically complex and fantastic musicals ever. Certainly the most fulfilled rock musical I've yet seen. Glad to see it's living on. I watch the DVD recording all the time!

Passing Strange is amazing. I wonder if it will work without Stew though!

That's like saying, "I wonder if The Rink will work without Liza Minnelli?"

Definitely down with the first one...the others not so much.

There have been regional productions of it. They've been well-received.
What did St. Louis do to deserve this?
Does smaller and intimate mean better?

Passing Strange is an outstanding show. In the song "The Black One," Stew and Heidi Rodewald express what it is like to African-American in this country and the world better than anything in the latest Kander and Ebb flop.
It's like they're trying not to sell tickets with that line up.
Unless they are intentionally going with a flop theme. Seriously, what strange choices.
Passing Strange was a solid rock show. The version of High Fidelity they're doing was warmly received by critics; it's the smaller, revised version, not what played on Broadway. All I know about Cry Baby is that it's going to have a much smaller cast than the Broadway production.
