It's a great musical (like, really fucking great and it should never have closed), and it means a lot to me. It's very raw and emotional, and kind of rips you to shreds by the end, which is what I love about it. I like theatre that really fucks with you, and tears apart any preconceived notions you have of the world. <br /><br /> That's part of the reason why, as an actress, I really like playing disturbed/disturbing characters. I like unnerving the audience, and I feel like...as someone with a mental illness, I can connect with those characters on a certain level which I find emotionally rewarding for some reason.<br /><br /> But yeah. Passing Strange=awesome.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cloudbusting&ditemid=331" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
