Because your Mothers love might feel insane, But she really knows everything.
Why that line means so much to me. Cause I can relate to youths pain. I was 18 just graduated from HS and moved to the West Coast. My mom called and asked me to return. Not knowing my mother kept alot of things to herself. I returned to Boston, and a month later she passed away. But I did have that chance to say good-bye. She was the most wonderful mother I could have asked for. Still wishing I could have spent more time with her. That's why I related so much to this show. joe

Seriously though - does anyone have that whole part about 'grasping music's math' or whatever that was?

What does this mean to you? Both to be seen and to be seen through.

"All you have to do is ask me, I'll give you all the love life allows"
Just want to echo that Rebecca Jones singing Come Down Now was phenomenal. (I also like the "to be seen and to be seen through" line from that song, too -- kind of what love is all about, isn't it?)

My best PASSING STRANGE memory occurred at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre when the musical made its world premiere in 2005.
A scene/song later cut from the production, in Act 2, in a celebratory explosion of meeting the artists of Berlin, members of the cast come out into the audience and chat/sing.
I had an aisle seat, and Rebecca Naomi Jones skipped over, plopped herself infront of me and asked me repeatedly something along the lines of her body image as a woman. Her wild eyes and frizzy hair were so enchanting... and I carried that experience with me to when I finally interviewed the entire cast in Fall 2007.

clever name, I was blown away and sobbing mess at the same time.
Did get a chance to talk to Rebecca this past weekend. She said she hopes to record "Come Down Now" on her album. But did say it was much longer at Berkley. And will record that version.

If you want to deal with "le real," you have to go to a foreign country.

I haven't seen the show, but I own the cast album.
Favorite Moment: "Love Like That," right after Stew sings "Too bad it takes so long to see what you've been missing-"
And then Heidi cuts in with the refrain. A wonderful choice, to have the woman sing in a song about a dead mother. I get choked up every time.

I heard, and keep in mind that these could be total rumors. There are talks for Chicago and San Francisco, and possibly London. That is just I have heard though.
