I’m guessing if you listen to a podcast about original cast albums, then you know who Joe Iconis is and you probably also know how thrilled I am to be talking with him this week. Aside from his Tony-nominated score for Be More Chill, Joe’s other vast musical credits include the likes of The Black Suits, Punk Rock Girl!, Bloodsong of Love, Broadway Bounty Hunter, and Love in Hate Nation. He’s coming to us from La Jolla Playhouse where he is debuting his newest musical: The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical.
Topics include: parents with shitty musical tastes, Inner-City Mother Goose, Carol Hall, Elaine Stritch, and Mandy Patinkin auditioning for Back to the Future
