 Rating:  - A "STEW To SavorWhile Rodgers and Hammerstein and Andrew Loyd Webber are booming on Broadway, some interesting new voices are being heard and Stew is among the best. The style is contemporary and should be heard by everyone, but unfortunately the show had to clsoe because business is business and not enough people showed up to support it.

I think it was a great choice the producers made in taping it live, as it captures the heart of the music. Rating: - whoa!!!!This is an excellent cd.However the show was unreal!I can not wait for the dvd! Rating: - I'm biased--but it rocked hard!I was lucky enough to go to a show of Passing Strange--and be present at the recording of this CD.

The REAL DealIn 1972, Broadway presented a young prince who yearned desperately to find something "completely fulfilling" in life. That prince was Pippin, son of Charles the Great. He sought for meaning and fulfillment in higher learning, war, sex, politics, religion, art, love and other things. Though set in the Roman Empire in the 9th century, Pippin's quest for purpose was representative of Everyman. Now in 2007, that quest is refreshingly and satisfactorily undertaken by the "Youth" in the phenomenal new musical, Passing Strange. Passing Strange is subtitled "The Stew Musical" because it presents a semiautobiographical sketch of Stew; the writer of the book and lyrics, co-writer of the music, and the narrator in this recording.
