Amazing singing from the cast. Seriously on point with the broadway cast. Cheers to you all!
I adore this show and this production! Saw it four times, truly inspired and there was so much talent on display.
This is the most relatable thing I've ever seen in the past 3 minutes 15 seconds of my life
Bonjour scp si mw sendomeng eske mw pap Elijib poum participe nan program saaa ?
I love this more each time I play. The way it begins so elegantly simple and grows into a rousing anthem. Captures the mad soul of the stage production and imbues it with melody, catchiness, and heartbreaking warmth.
I came opening night and I’m still humming these songs!!! Phenomenal job cast and crew🔥🔥🔥
Have fun just finished North Carolina premiere of it. What a cast and everything looks stunning break a legs everyone!
Amazing show!
Already got the tickets!
So excited!
What the fuckkkkkkkkk did I just stumble on
Thank you for this! What an amazing interview with Stew. Passing Strange changed my life when I saw it in Seattle back in 2014.
So bawdy!

Beth is excellent! I loved the show.
I love this interview..... especially the last comment about the importance or Art/ Creativity. I'm watching the show on demand right now it's AMAZING!!🎉🎊🎉⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a really fun and beautifully performed musical. Check it out.
30:05 dave really said "when i wrote war and peace"
I saw this Sunday and hope to get back for a second helping.
Absolutely beautiful.
Small, nit-picky note: Stew and Heidi's brilliant creative partner/director on PASSING STRANGE was (and is) Annie DORSEN, not "Dorsey." That final title slide should be corrected if possible. Huge fan of the show (saw it 5 times off-and-on-Broadway). Have a great run!
In September 1995 the Negro problem performed in Palo Alto opening for cake and a Black person went around town pulling down our posters because he thought we were KKK and he called my office and I explained- Stew has always been a “crazy weird kid” as he says above and it took him a while to simplify the message and yes Bill Bragin is 100% the genius who hit a bull’s-eye no one else could see even people who believed Mark Steve Stewart was a prophet
There’s an album called The Naked Dutch Painter which tells the passing strange story exegesis, plus a song cycle called “The Drug Suite “Bill Bragan said those three songs plus the funny stories you tell on stage could be Broadway material and five years later it happened but I was in the room before it happened and so I’m very happy shotgun players production
Can't wait!!!
America is not your country go home
B.A. did not fight for the right of any Black immigrants to get over here there was already Black immigrants coming over here during Jim Crow & Civil rights movement.., B.A. fought to assimilate & integrate into white community stop the cap
Black immigrants literally worship white ppl Lmaooo
Immigrants know black american are the cream of the crop that's why they're so jealous of us with the same old culture lie they tell saying we don't know our culture,Well lets get the facts,Your jealous of this great nation we built and bcos of us you'll get to come here,Then u tell the culture lie,Well pple from the carribean say these things too but u got off the ship 1 or 2 stops before but u've culture but not us?Well tell me what has your culture done for u foreign blacks?Nothing bcos your running here taking our jobs and scholarships and our culture is copied around the world and we're the richest blacks in the world and lead in every other catagory as well,As long as u insist on being ungrateful and jealous their will be problems among us and we out number u 9 to 1,I sugest u humble urselves and learn some black american history,Not his_story.
2021 was a rewarding year from Shotgun Players. The Claim was accomplished and entertaining. The Cassandra Sessions was one of my favorite Shogun productions ever. A Special Shout Out and Thank You for the A Sonnet a Day series near the beginning of the Quarantine. I teach As You Like It at Mission College, and A Sonnet a Day was the first time ever that some of my students were treated to accessible Shakespeare/.
I love this, a nose without a face is so heartbreaking. Sublime Music!!!!
Thank you for this generous conversation : ) Joan
This is one of the greatest productions Shotgun Players has ever presented: powerful and entertaining, a very communal celebration of hope and music. The run has been extended until I think December 26. Get your ticket soon because nearly every seat was taken at last night's performance.
Nice interpretation. Thanks!
yeaah Louel!
This. is. amazing!!!
