Too Strange? The Tony nominated "Passing Strange" has announced its closing July 20. Described as, "watching a concept album, live," "Strange" struggled at the box office in spite of critical acclaim. But Spike Lee loved it and he's going to bring it to the silver screen.
Speaking of movies: "Rent" will be hitting 176 movie screens across the country this September to help commemorate the closing of the mega-musical. The filmed version of the stage play (not the dismal Chris Columbus feature) will also have special closing-night extras as the original cast helps say goodbye.
