In a rare piano-only show, Tony-nominated musical theater writer and performer Joe Iconis (Be More Chill, Signature Theatre’s upcoming The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical) will perform an intimate set of original tunes, brand new material from shows in the works, explosive singalongs, and a whole lot of banging on the ol’ piano. Come knock back a stiff one, have a good old-fashioned cry, share a laugh with a stranger, and shake off your dust with contemporary musical theater’s favorite maverick writer. Special guest Alex Ferrara joins.
