That truly is fantastic!
600, yay!
I'm not a scareotype, but just saw In The Heights, and in my opinion, Passing Strange deserves the best musical award!
Sitting in the Belasco right now... Its intermission. I am loving it!!!
I'm loving all the Passing Strange Love going around!
Fingers crossed for Tuesday!!
Wouldn't feel bad if it's somehow ignored. In fact, the reviews is all the show needed. Everything else is politics - the reviewers didn't have a reason to hate or love the show.
I'm joining the group! Count me in. I love the show. I have seen it twice.
Caroline-Q-or-TBoo, I can't PM you for some reason
Thanks for the reminder.
Can't Wait!!!
Welcome NYCboy2, To the scaryotypes. Bobby and Maurice glad you enjoyed it. joe
I took some friends to see the show on Wednesday night, all 3 were pretty hesitant and didnt think they would like it, but they loved it so much they were thanking me over and over for making them come.
I cannot wait to get the cast album, I usually never order off of iTunes as I like to have a physical CD to go with my collection, but I may have to this time as I dont think I can wait until June 30th.
For those who saw the performance on The View, I thought it was pretty awesome. Great advertising and press for the show. The whole studio audience got free tickets to the show, and Whoopi called it "her favorite Broadway musical."
Also, can't wait for May 27th, PS Cast Recording released on ITunes!!!!
Who was on, and what song did they perform? Any YouTube out there? Thanks for the heads up, Ben.
It was the whole cast, except for maybe Eisha Davis. They did everyone's favorite, the ol' Amsterdam/Keys Medley.
After the performance, Whoopi interviewed Stew for like, a minute, and then gave the whole audience free tickets to the show. Lucky audience indeed.
Dunno about Youtube yet.
They were all on (although I don't know if I saw Eisa Davis) and they did a mix of Amsterdam and Keys. It was really great to hear Whoopi say such great things about the show and I so wish I was part of that audience.

Is this on youtube? I Forgot to set my DVR and I'm Mad at myself for forgetting I wanna see it .
coolkid, wait a day. It'll be on.
jaystarr:
Did you make that color pic of Stew, Rebecca and Daniel you posted on May 1? It's hot. It's eye-grabbing. THAT should be the offical PASSING STRANGE poster. I'm not wild about the one they have now.
Saw it again last week. With all due respect to IN THE HEIGHTS, PASSING STRANGE is head and shoulders above it (and any other new musical this season) it's...scary.
I would also keep an eye out on The View website. They post videos from the show and I can only imagine that they would put the performance on there too.

I liked that they did a Amsterdam/Keys medley on The View, but the performance was cut down for time so it sounded kinda awkward at times. They also attempted to replicate the lighting, but it fell short, and did nothing for the performance. It's going to be a much better performance at the Tonys.
It was still awesome seeing them though.

Congrats to Passing Strange for winning the NY Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical!
VERYC and (Scaryotypes): I'm absolutely certain that Stew will pull *something* really cool on LIVE TV..that's just the way he performs every night. Me, personally, he should jump into the aud. and shove that mic into their faces, do that that inimitable, cute, rockin' "tiny step boogie" thing (my phrase) , and SING!~
Have you guys watched Chad's backstage video on BWW today? Charming and funny!
Anyone entering the contest???
