FRESH, EXUBERANT, BRACINGLY INVENTIVE, BITINGLY FUNNY, AND FULL OF HEART” — The New York Times

ATLANTA PREMIERE OF A NY TIMES “CRITIC’S PICK”

WINNER: TONY AWARD FOR “BEST BOOK” • 3 DRAMA DESK AWARDS INCLUDING “BEST MUSICAL”

A soulful and electrifying Broadway musical, PASSING STRANGE takes us on an odyssey in search of identity, acceptance, and the “Real”.  A young man discovers his musical calling and sets off for Europe, leaving behind his mother and comfortable suburban life. In his rebellion filled with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, he yearns for something in life that he thinks can only be found in art. Bursting with energizing punk, blues, gospel, and jazz music, this Tony Award-winning musical radiates with humor and heart. PASSING STRANGE is by far “the freshest musical in town” (Wall Street Journal).

Run Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one intermission
Please Note: Passing Strange  is a coming of age musical with frank discussions about sex, drug use and cultural identity. We recommend this show for audiences  ages thirteen and older.
