The new rock musical sails into Tony season with seven nominations under its belt, including one for Best Musical. The live Broadway cast album of Passing Strange will be released on iTunes May 27.

Passing Strange – which opened on Broadway Feb. 28 following a critically lauded run at the Public Theater last summer – features the original Public cast, including Stew, de'Adre Aziza, Daniel Breaker, Eisa Davis, Colman Domingo, Chad Goodridge and Rebecca Naomi Jones.

Passing Strange co-author Rodewald heads an onstage band that features Stew as well as Jon Spurney, Christian Cassan and Christian Gibbs.
