Gothamist: Stew, Passing Strange:

But I’ve got to tell you, in one way it’s harder than a rock gig because it’s repetitive. But physically… In a 45-50 minute club show I’m expending constant energy every minute. There’s no break in a club show. Whereas in this play I can sit down and other people are doing things. But what’s harder is the whole mindfuck that surrounds it. Repetitive stress bullshit that comes from playing the same part every night, even though I like to mix it up. I never had shit like that before, like a wrist pain. Because in my rock show I’m always doing different shit every night. Even if we’re on tour. But yeah, theater’s hard, man. Not onstage but all the other shit surrounding it.
