La Jolla Playhouse has announced the first five productions of its 2023/2024 season, including the world-premiere musical The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical, music and lyrics by Joe Iconis, book by Joe Iconis and Gregory S. Moss, directed by Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley.
Last week A SIGN OF THE TIMES was announced for a new developmental reading. The release stated the musical had “several script revisions” and the librettist was now Lindsey Hope Pearlman. Absent was any mention of well-known comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, the original librettist, who had been developing the show for almost a decade.
The new Halloween compilation A(aaagh!)lbum by musical theater virtuoso Joe Iconis, will be available in digital and streaming formats on Friday, October 21. The release includes one previously-unissued track, “Haddonfield, 15 Years Later (For Judith) Alternative Version.” Get an exclusive first listen here!
