Passing Strange review: Unlike any musical I’ve seen before

Giles Terera stars in a show that's more like a gig with a story than a conventional show with songs - and what a thrill it is, but it’s not like any musical I have ever seen before – and what a thrill it is. Pulsing with electric guitars and drums – it’s not for nothing that the band takes centre stage, while the actors weave around them – it’s far more akin to a gig with a story than a conventional show with songs.

A young person’s yearning for creative self-expression has long been the plot motor of much drama and fiction, and’s fresh spin on this idea is both rousing and refreshing. Is Youth in danger of believing that art is more important than life? After all, the notion of home and family doesn’t appear quite such a hideously bourgeois construct when you’re left all by yourself in a foreign country on Christmas Day.
