The Things I Could Never Tell Steven

There’s something charismatic and enigmatic about Steven. From his mother, to his wife, father and Ex, they all desperately seek his approval, want his company, want to the one in his life, yet he remains elusive.

This cheeky and delicious musical comedy sees four characters sharing intimate details about their life with Steven, what they want to tell him. A picture of Steven emerges from their longings to be with him. But Steven has his own secrets …

The Things I Could Never Tell Steven, by composer Jye Bryant has been performed around the world. Jye and his talent are currently a Western Sydney secret, that we don’t think will be a secret for much longer.

Western Sydney composer/lyricist Jye Bryant’s musical is a wonderful expression of the challenges of human connection and is perfect piece of live theatre for a community emerging from social isolation and challenging communication channels.”  Broadway World Australia

“The Things I Could Never Tell Steven is a must see”. Broadway World Australia

“Kiehne takes the score and transforms it with keyboard synth and 80s pop sensibilities. It’s brilliant work.”  “This new setting has also inspired a colour-blocked pleasure of a set (James Browne) and Verity Hampson brings 80s panache to a lighting plot that’s part rainbow, part compass. They bring pockets of joy“. Sydney Morning Herald

“The one act musical set a lively and engaging pace. It had compelling drama, humour and strong songs.” Stage Whispers

Jye Bryant’s celebrated musical is brought to bright, beautiful, technicolor life by Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta.
