Spike Lee is going to Broadway. The Oscar-nominated writer/director
will be spending part of his July filming the Tony-winning play
Passing Strange. Lee will film the musical by singer/songwriter Stew
over the course of a weekend, shooting two shows with audiences and
then a third one without. (He did a similar thing with his 2000
concert film The Original Kings of Comedy.) Passing Strange's
producers are financing the production, and while no distribution deal
has been set, sources believe it will air on cable television upon
completion. The musical centers on a young black musician who sets off
on a journey to find "the real" after being raised in a church-going
middle-class Los Angeles neighborhood. It was originally developed at
the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab.
