"Passing Strange" closes on Broadway

The Tony-award winning musical Passing Strange will close after a final performance at Broadway's Belasco Theatre on July 20.

The following day, film director Spike Lee will film the production without an audience. He previously filmed the matinee and evening performances on July 19, in order to document the production for future generations.

Passing Strange won the Tony Award this year for Best Book of a Musical. The book was written by Los Angeles singer/songwriter Stew, who incorporated elements of his own life into the story of an artist in search of his artistic and personal integrity.

Stew also wrote the lyrics and music, with Heidi Rodewald collaborating on the music.
