Joe Iconis is currently working on the new musical, BLOODSONG OF LOVE: THE ROCK ‘N' ROLL SPAGHETTI WESTERN, which will open at Ars Nova in Spring 2010. He is the recipient of an Ed Kleban Award, a Daryl Roth Award, and a Jonathan Larson Award. His theatrical rock concert, THINGS TO RUIN, has played two critically- acclaimed engagements, at The Zipper Theater and at Second Stage Theatre. His garage rock musical, THE BLACK SUITS, played SPF at the Public Theater, his three-part rock musical REWRITE played Urban Stages, and his family rock musical for TheaterWorksUSA, THE PLANT THAT ATE DIRTY SOCKS, completed a summer run at the Lortel Theater and a national tour. In addition to his theater work, Joe has played numerous sold-out gigs with his ROCK AND ROLL JAMBOREE show, a sort of musical theater/ rock'n'roll collective made up his (very very talented!) friends. Joe frequently performs at Joe's Pub, The Laurie Beechman Theater, Ars Nova, and Sardi's.
