Passing Strangely


Tonight PBS & Great Performances aired the Spike Lee film of the Broadway production of 'Passing Strange: the Stew Musical'. The show won Tonys, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and is now available on dvd.

I saw the show back in the summer of 2008 on hazy Sunday afternoon, by myself, and I remember getting chills about 30 minutes into the first act. The story seemed to perfectly explain so many feelings I never knew I had. The experience was the closest I've ever come to the popular term: "church".

J'adore.
