Passing Strange - Keys (It's Alright)

[thishatandyou]

David Hyde Pierce totally wanted to be up dancing! Hehe.

I have friends who judged this show off this excerpt on the Tonys. I keep telling them to see the whole thing from the PBS special because it's incredible. Personally, this excerpt really turned me on when I first saw it.

DA FUCK, Duritz was roommates with Stew, DA FUCK

[tmbounds]

This was the best play I have seen in a very very long time. The DVD is a must see.

[Auntkekebaby]

This is on of the best musicals I've ever seen!!! Please do yourself a favor and rent the DVD on netflix. If musicals are not your thing, this is the musical for you.Whoopi looks great!

[agentsumo54]

i was channel surfing and came across this on our local PBS station and could not look away. the music is Sooooo good and the story is well told.

[OnceAndFutureNoca]

Me too! I saw it one night, and set the DVR to record it the next day. I'm gonna watch it for my third time today.

[brotherbuzz909]

@agentsumo54 the exact same thing happened to me!

[moryan10]

I'm soooooo OBSESSED! i just can't stop watching this play..... " My Keys" love it!!!!

[WeirdFro]

i love this!! i just saw it on-demand. does it remind anyone else of spring awakening? between the lighting and this song, they remind me of each other. i love both!!

[drpedics]

How did you see it on demand?!?! I really would like to see this!

[WeirdFro]

it should still be there. if you search spike lee passing strange you might find it

[catcookie]

I am so sad I missed this show. I love all the music ( I have the cd) so I hope they

bring it back at some point.

2:21 - "take mine now..." what is that accent!? and where did it come from :-S

[macrent2]

It sounds about as "Dutch" as you can get to me! Probably because they are supposed to be in Amsterdam, Holland!

[iamadramastudent]

I take it you haven't been to holland! my father lives there and to me...the accent went crazily British for a word or 2 here and there.. :-S

[macrent2]

I have been to Holland and I still think it sounds Dutch.

[iamadramastudent]

Fair enough, we shall agree to disagree :-)everybody to their own, after all.

[emeraldprongs19]

I'm dutch. It doesn't sound Dutch.

[25jw611]

The song is about when he lived in Amsterdam and how people are so much more trusting of others in Amsterdam then America and the acccent is supposed to be of a woman who asked him to stay at her house and offered him the keys to the house.

[iamadramastudent]

do you know what an accent is?

[taylorseymour]

it's suppose to be Dutch. It sounds borderline Filipino.

[MilviSnow]

XD Haha! It does! x

[petethepessimist]

I don't really like this proformance... I saw and loved the musical, I'm not trying to bash it, but this proformance of it just seemed kind of botched and half-hearted...

[alwy15]

when i first saw this on the tonys, i thought it was so odd and alienating, and didnt like it at all. then i saw the show and thought the show was totally incredible. i'm not sure, looking back, what they could have done to make a tony performance that could have stood alone and been powerful - this was thrilling in the context of the show but strange otherwise. anyway - props to this show. i hope it has a lengthy regional life. it's truly incredible.

[mistyminxy15]

amazing! i love this song and musical!

[apassingstrange]

I like the name, hahaha.

[guitarfreak429]

it wasn't bad...but i felt the music just wasn't well placed. It honestly felt like the songs were rock songs placed blindly into a show, rather than the show being built around the music. I enjoyed the show, but it wasn't the greatest thing ive seen.

[nribak]

Passing Strange is completely brilliant and inspirational. I Just saw it this past weekend and I need to go see it again! Loves it!!!

[scandolousmaid27]

stop cutting up the song! just sing it

[skinhugging]

So powerful

[miiszkelsz]

i love this :)

nothing like sa

it's a powerfull story but i love sa more <333

[gildo682]

thank you for posting this! i tried looking for the tony performance but no one had it.

[worldtraveler91]

This looks oddly similar to Spring Awakening...

[parismcpirate]

Uhm, they have absolutely nothing in common. How do you even remotely see that?

[snappyblue]

same lighting designer...band onstage...narrative interjected by rock music...staging focused around manipluating chairs...it's not that much of a stretch.

[Acejunior215]

Yes both of the bands are onstage but in Passing Strange it is more of a focal point.

[killxyaslynn24]

yea the story it self is not the same. But every thing else that happens is kinda spring awakening related.

[broadwaybound4eva]

He didn't say they sound the same. He said they LOOK the same. And they kinda do ...

The music and story had nothing to do with his comment. :)

[iamadramastudent]

i see your point and agree completely.....and have said the same among my friends.

[fun4eileen]

Hey...thanks for posting all the clips of Stew and "Passing Strange" on the Tony Awards!

[killxyaslynn24]

i love this song <3!!!

[parismcpirate]

I love you guys. PLEASE stay open!
