The Total Bent

Stew’s autobiographical rock musical, Passing Strange, co-written with Heidi Rodewald, is a serious contender for Best Musical of the 21st Century (non-Hamilton division). Now the pair’s follow-up, The Total Bent, is making its Midwest debut at Haven Theatre. The storyline follows a young musician trying to escape the shadow of his famous gospel star father. This production is directed by Lili-Anne Brown, whose recent revival of Caroline, or Change earned raves across town, including five stars from us.
