If you could talk to your younger self, what would you say?

Passing Strange is the rock musical that shook Broadway 20 years ago – now, for the first time, we're bringing it to LA for an electric revival. In search of "THE REAL," a young rocker from South LA goes on a journey to find himself and his art, meeting the misfits and rebels of the 80s rock scene along the way. It's a wild ride and a story that will stay with you long after the music fades.

📆 Onstage Nov 4 - 29
