Congrats to Passing Strange on winning the Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical!

I guess if it gets snubbed at the Tony's, it can at least take pride in knowing that one group was smart enough to name it best musical.

I also want to find youtube video of this View performance. I'm putting positive energy out there- it's all about the Secret.

OH, and one more thing- I just found out I will be seeing Passing Strange again in July with a group.
Couldn't be more excited to get a second taste of this show!

I looks like Stew and Company were able to pull a song together for the Tony Awards Preview Concert because the show is listed on the BWW article about the concert. They will be performing "Mom's Song" according to the article.

Guess it also won the Drama Desk before they even happen! Ha ha, that's BAD journalism!

And they're some pretty substantial ones too. I mean, how can you help but rock out when Stew starts that prologue! Updated On: 5/12/08 at 09:17 PM

Passing Strange got 7 nominations

Best Musical
Best Book of a Musical: Stew
Best Original Score: Stew and Heidi Rodewald
Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical: Stew
Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical: Daniel Breaker
Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical: de'Adre Aziza
Best Orchestrations: Stew & Heidi Rodewald

I'm thrilled for them all, but especially de'Adre Aziza. I really wanted one of the supporting actresses from Passing Strange to get a nod, but didn't think it would happen. Its very deserved.

Congrats to Passing Strange on all the well deserved nominations! I was thrilled to see Stew recognized as Best Actor (which many people thought wouldn't happen), and I'm ESPECIALLY happy for de'Adre Aziza! I wasn't expecting that one. Still think they deserved a lighting nomination, but oh well.

I'm loving the awards this year :)

So excited for all the Passing Strange love on the Tony nominations this morning. It's especially awesome about de'Adre Aziza... that kind of came out of nowhere... in a good way!

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

For those who question whether PS is award worthy....just give the show a chance. I was somewhat hesitant to see it at the Public...especially because the description made the show sound a lot like something a couple years ago that...well....ick.

So my sister and I went to our first performance....and we both felt that it deserved to be seen again. After the second performance we bought tickets for the final performance at the Public...saw it again in Central Park....then in previews....then the cast recording....and most recently two weeks ago with a friend from LA.....

I have seen Avenue Q twice, and I think I saw the original Chorus Line 2 or 3 times over many years....but there is something about PS that gets under one's skin.

My only concern now is whether the show is finding an audience or jumping the shark....I am aware of a number of society ladies who have decided to meet up in the City and all see the show in June.

Congrats to all on the nominations!

"You need to blacken up!"

De'Adre's TONY nom was such a pleasant pleasant surprise.

Congrats to the other fantastic nominations. I'm thinking about going to the show tonight..I assume people might be all hyped up from all the TONY noms.

Is anyone going to the show tonight? If so, please report on the Post-Tony Nominations Vibe.

Anybody have any more thoughts on the get together? I'd like to suggest May 25th, a Sunday, because a lot of us probably won't have to work the following day.

[thetinymagic2]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:39pm

Frogs: Re : PS Scaryotype get together.
this weekend is out, due to the NINTH AVE FOOD FEST
which is going to make the neighborhood impossible to
to get around in (1,000,000+ extra people), sooo.

I was thinking about the 25th. Where would you guys like
to go, how much do you want to spend?, drinks only, or
late lunch or dinner. How much time will you allot for this?

Ideas: Drinks a SAJU, a lovely restuarant across from the
Belasco?

Southwest 44 - my nice neighborhood Italian w/
excellent Martini Bar/

John's Pizza - 44th and Eighth

CAFE 123 - next to the Belasco

other?

I'd be fine with Cafe 123, I've always liked the food there and it's decently priced. John's Pizzeria is a good idea, especially if it ends up being more than five people and it would be a lot cheaper. I have nothing to do that day, so whenever or for however long is fine with me. I was thinking more along the lines of lunch maybe, because I'm thinking of seeing the show that day, but I'm open to anything.
