PassingStrange


From an article on Bloomberg.com:

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- The acclaimed Broadway rock musical Passing Strangewill close on July 20 after a six-month run, its producers announced today.

Investors haven't recouped any of the $5 million the show cost on Broadway.

The coming-of-age story of a young black American musician in bohemian Amsterdam and Berlin wowed critics but never attracted a mass audience. Last week it played to just over one- third capacity and was the lowest-grossing show on Broadway, taking in $176,068.


Not going to lie, did not love their performance at the Tonys. However, it did show how Broadway is evolving. It definitely was not "traditional" Broadway that some young people (not my friends...hehe) shun. Therefore, we must take a moment of silence to mourn this loss.

Okay, moment's over.
