Listen to what the critics are saying;
"PASSING STRANGE introduces an exciting new voice to contemporary musical theater. Part concert, part book musical with driving rock music and a tart satiric tone- PASSING STRANGE defies generic categories. It dares in its playful way to honor big questions that have set adolescent souls yearning for centuries. How to discover and be true to your convictions, how to live a meaningful life, and still pay the bills, how to find the understanding you need without throwing away the love you're offered."
— NY Times
"With excellent songs and a vulnerable heart, PASSING STRANGE could join HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH as a punk musical."
— Variety
"Not since Stephen Sondheim introduced a kind of Jewish skepticism and irony to the Broadway musical, in the nineteen-fifties, and Tony Kushner revolved his 2003 show, CAROLINE, OR CHANGE , around the ways in which middle class intersects with race have we had such a finely crafted, ethnic-minded American musical as PASSING STRANGE."
— The New Yorker
