About the show

The Lowdown

The piece is a deeply personal portrait of a young couple coping with pregnancy loss in rural isolation — a subject that sounds devastating and somehow, in the Bengsons’ hands, becomes a testament to the unexpected humor and connection that emerge in grief. Previews began February 25 and the show opened March 17, 2026, extended beyond its original run, and closed April 12, 2026 at NYTW’s 199-seat main stage at 79 East 4th Street.

What Are Reviews For The Bengsons’ My Joy Is Heavy? According to critics: extremely good. If you went to NYTW in the spring of 2026 and came out with dry eyes, that’s between you and your emotional unavailability.
