Does anyone know if Stew and Heidi plan to or already have released the rights?
My real question is, do you think a show like that could be done with a different cast? It's autobiographical and Stew's character is...Stew. Could it work having someone else play Stew playing himself? Like regional productions of [title of show]? Or would it feel like a crappy cover band? I just wanna know cuz I have become a hardcore Scaryotype; I'm so jealous of the original cast for getting the chance to be in that show and I'd love to be able to experience being in a production Passing Strange.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 6/8/10 at 4:08amI believe it's being produced by New Rep in Boston either later this year or in 2011. Very excited.

I think it would be great fun to see a theatre devote a whole season to autobiographical shows featuring someone other than the person for whom it was created.
