The New York Times says Joe Iconis is “… the future of musical theatre.” Well, the future is now. This spring, Iconis’ newest sci-fi musical Be More Chill, makes a much anticipated arrival on Broadway. The show is a phenomenon, with the Off-Broadway cast album streamed over 80 million times and a film version in development. His song “Broadway, Here I Come!” from NBC’s SMASH was hailed by the New York Times as a new entry in the Great American Songbook. For this special program, Joe Iconis chills out at the Library piano, where he’ll discuss his music, his process, and his influences.
