Lee to film Broadway musical
Spike Lee will film “Passing Strange,” Stew’s rock musical journey of self-discovery, during performances next week at Broadway’s Belasco Theatre.
The movie, budgeted at about $2 million, will be shot July 19 at both the matinee and evening performances, Steve Klein, the film’s producer, told reporters Wednesday. The stage production will also be filmed at two other times in the theater without audiences present.
Klein, also one of the producers of the Tony Award-nominated show, said a distribution deal for the movie had not been set.
