Public Forum: Conversation and Songs with Stew, Heidi Rodewald, and Michael Cerveris
NEW EVENT JUST ANNOUNCED!
THE PUBLIC FORUM
A NIGHT OF CONVERSATION AND SONGS WITH STEW, HEIDI RODEWALD, AND MICHAEL CERVERIS
Monday, February 27 at 9:30pm in Joe's Pub
The Public Forum, the celebrated new series of high-profile conversations, continues when Stew and Heidi Rodewald (Passing Strange) make a triumphant return to Joe's Pub. They'll perform songs from their new musical The Total Bent, which premieres in February as part of the Public Lab series. They will be joined by Michael Cerveris (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Sweeney Todd, and the upcoming Broadway revival of Evita) for a provocative conversation about life in a recording studio and what happens when the worlds of theater and rock collide.
Stew and Heidi Rodewald team up with director Joanna Settle for The Total Bent, a new musical about a black gospel prodigy from down South and a white music producer from South London who meet in a recording studio just south of the Twilight Zone, as they both desperately seek their own versions of transcendence, salvation, and a hit record. Divine inspiration, fantastical visions, and one legendary music-producer father frame this electrifying new musical about the complicated space between the sacred and the profane.
