The Green Room 42 Presents Rob Rokicki And The Good Kids In FACE YOUR FEARS  Image

THE GREEN ROOM 42 welcomes the onstage return of composer and lyricist Rob Rokicki, following the success of the current National Tour of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. ROKICKI, composer of the acclaimed 2018 NAMT selection, Monstersongs, will present all new songs from his current list of never-before-seen projects. Supported by multi-hyphenate performers and a killer band of musicians, FACE YOUR FEARS will showcase all new material from this two-time Larson Award nominee in an exclusive and intimate night of music.

ROKICKI'S songs have been pegged to "live at the perfect intersection of musical theatre and radio rock" by Adam Gwon, composer of Ordinary Days.

On the concert, ROKICKI laughs, "Doing all new material is scary and thrilling. We're doing songs about misunderstood animals, sea-monster sex cults, wedding singers losing their mind, love songs about the end of the world... you know, typical musical theatre."

Rob Rokicki is the composer and lyricist of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical (book by Joe Tracz). He has received nominations for three Drama Desk Awards, an Off-Broadway Alliance, and a Lortel Award.
