About the Show

A joyful, music-filled true story about loss, faith, and hope in life’s uncertain moments.

Ohio is a moving and joyful new musical by real-life couple Abigail and Shaun Bengson, blending intimate storytelling with their signature indie-folk sound. As Shaun faces progressive hearing loss and reflects on his departure from the church, he finds strength and meaning in music and love. Through vibrant songs and creative captions, the show explores how we confront life’s biggest questions—and how we find hope even in the unknown. From the Obie-winning Bengsons and producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, Ohio is a celebration of resilience, faith, and the power of choosing joy.
