The cast recording of Passing Strange is available for purchase on iTunes now. It's the first Broadway show to premiere its cast recording on iTunes. I think it's due in hardcopy form in stores early in July. Continuing the show's nonconformist trend, they recorded it live before an audience on stage in the Belasco Theater where it is running.
The cast and band also performed live at the Obie Awards a few weeks ago when it won the Best New Theater Piece award. The concert performance is captured in the video below. The first song, "We Just Had Sex," was too much for CBS and they weren't allowed to do it for the taped pre-Tonys show due to be broadcast this Sunday. The last three minutes or so of this video demonstrate the incredible energy of this show and why I keep raving about it.
