LOVED that. Just incredible.
However, I will say that I've never particularly liked the end of the song. But I still loved the performance.

So you take "light My Candle" from Rent, add in the lighting effects and spaz dancing from Spring Awakening...
and you get Passing Strange?
Daniel Breaker apparently has a great voice, but I still have no desire to see it.

I love it. but I dont think it captured the REAL ESSENCE of the musical!
1st- the lights was just a projections, it seems.
2nd - they cut the song-which removes some of the emotional intensity of the whole number.
Its a BRILLIANT musical, but better seen live in person!~imo.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:33pmI think it was a big mistake of the producers to put Passing strange's dreadful number so early in the show - my mother, my aunts, broadway lovers who don't love what's happening to broadway, have been alienated and will turn the channel. I knew what was coming, Stew's screeching, so could attend to my guests and block it out (he gives me headaches). I know I'm "mean" but I honestly hate that show more than any other EVER!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:34pmHow am I supposed to get drunk when there's only one award every 10 minutes? Can we just put the Tonys on PBS? I loathe network TV.
