I'm glad that the show is being filmed. The soundtrack is wonderful, and I
was hoping for an eventual DVD release, because I know several people who
would love to see the show, who can't make it to NY. Veronica and I will be
seeing it for the second time in September on our honeymoon (the first time was
when it was in Berkeley a couple of years ago).

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.
