Tix Now On Sale to See Stew and Heidi Rodewald's The Total Bent Off-Broadway

Tickets are now available to see the new musical from Stew and Heidi Rodewald, creators of Passing Strange. Directed by Joanna Settle, The Total Bent will play a limited engagement May 10 through June 19 at the Public's Anspacher Theater.

The Total Bent is a new show at the crossroads of the sacred and profane, survival and liberation, gospel and rock ‘n’ roll. When a British record producer arrives in Montgomery, Alabama to hook Marty Roy, a young black musical prodigy, he launches us back into Marty’s tumultuous upbringing. The son of a gospel star and self-proclaimed healer, Marty spent his childhood writing the songs that have made his charismatic father famous. But in a nation on the verge of social upheaval, with the rising heat from the street guiding his pen, Marty finds himself at odds with his spiritually forceful father as he strives to create a masterpiece that will change America—no matter the cost.

The off-Broadway production is set to feature choreography by David Neumann; casting will be announced later.
