My Joy Is Heavy

Abigail and Shaun Bengson sang about their whirlwind marriage in their autobiographical 2017 concert musical Hundred Days. The Bengsons return to New York Theater Workshop nearly a decade later with another collection about connection, focusing this time on recovering from the pain of a lost pregnancy while isolating with their young son in rural Vermont during the pandemic. The show is directed by the inventive Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown).
