Thank you so much for the warning, because I was planning on going in to the matinee tomorrow afternoon... now I'm not sure what I'm doing, but at least I won't show up for a show that isn't going to happen.
shall we take a minute to worship Heidi?
she is so f*cking "cool".
Caroline, I'm taking my moment to worship Heidi.
BTW, fans, cast recording to take place within 2 weeks!! Yay!
Info: could be in front of a live, invited audience, but not a "full performance". That could be an excellent way to capture the LIVE vibe of this show!
Also,...could be a libretto coming out in the future (nothing def yet)
Oh my god! That's great news! Sh-K-boom removed the CD artwork on their website! I was about to post it.

Heidi is awesome as hell
I ended up sitting next to a very nice gentleman tonight... who is a producer of the show. Needless to say, I thanked him profusely.
INTENSE show tonight.
I was at the third preview back in Feb and couldnt have loved this show any more than I did. I've been trying to get friends to come see it with me, even with the $25 they still had no interest. That is until we all saw In The Heights and they loved it and I said I think Passing Strange was even better. I can't wait to go again.
Quick question though, I know they had the Youth Ticket thing and replaced it with just a general $25 rush ticket...do we know if that is permanent? Now that they are doing better at the box office I figure it may end.
Hey tiny, do you know if the 1PM matinee tomorrow is a public performance? I ask because it isn't listed on telecharge at all.

How do I get Invited to this special show that they will record the cast recording at?
To FROGS_:I believe it's an invited audience...from where, I don't know.
I guess you could show up at the B.O., if you live nearby, though. There's always a couple of people who don't show up.
The OBC, I would assume is invitees only. Do you know anybody?!
I think it's going to be on the 14th (not def, tho)

funky bump.
Love bump.........
totally jammed to Amsterdam in my car today.
it was amazing.
You're the best, CAROLINE...Today's special matinee was 1,000 NYC junior high school students! And well behaved, and went f***ing crazy over the show! It's so nice to see fresh, unadulterated theatergoers (many for the FIRST time) get so into a show. And it's the ULTIMO test for any actor to get over the initial talking, hubbub, etc. of these kids, but ultimately, in the quiet scenes, you could hear a pin drop.
If any of you were there today, please post. BRAVI! Thanks.

Wow - sounds amazing. I was so happy to read that they were bringing students to this show. What an amazing experience for those lucky students. If only more Broadway shows would do this. I personally think this is a great show for "urban" teenagers.
And I just have to say that the show resonates with me more than any other show I saw this March. Definitely can't wait for the cast recording.
That's how the song goes!

Thanks, tiny.
Stew and Heidi were together.. I would not have guessed.
I couldn't find that Wall Street Journal review they were talking about, but I wonder what the writer meant when he/she said "I don't know whether Stew has another story in him." It is mentioned that it was a positive review..so I guess the writer just meant that Stew put all his effort into PS...his only successful attempt at musical theatre?
Yeah, I think so, CURIOUS. BTW, I noticed a pix of Stew and his daughter (opening nite pix, I think), and I swear the daughter looks just like Heidi. Could be, ?? I think she's about 12.
Whaaaaaaat? He has a daughter? Heidi could be the mother of Stew's child? Where did you see the picture?
Hey, look, I'm trying to remember where I might have seen this...give me a few minutes to search...I'm not trying to spread gossip or anything bad!
Haha I AM! I'm gonna start a new thread right now:
HEIDI RODEWALD is the mother of STEW'S child
Don't you dare! (To CURIOUS)

This is not where I saw the pix, but read the article. I'm probably wrong; Stew says his daughter is from a previous relationship...
I think I saw the pix on one of the Bway sites, eitherTheatermania, Broadway.com, Playbill or something else. Anyway, what's the big deal? Isn't the Heidi/Stew romance/collaboration what makes the show so REAL?
Goodnight...too much internet tonight.
Okay...found it. Can't cut and paste. Bway.com. Search: Passing Strange opening night photos. pic # 50.

Okay, Now that award season announcements are weeks away. I was wondering how PS fans felt. About this up and coming awards season. First I have to say. It was the best reviewed new muscial of the season. So my guess it will be embraced by the critic awards. Any thoughts?
