The Joe Iconis Rock and Roll Jamboree comes to the Laurie Beechman Theater for again on August 23rd, and 30th. All shows are at 9:30PM. Tickets are $10 and reservations can be made by calling (212) 695-6909.
Rabble-rousing writer Joe Iconis returns to The Beechman, bringing with him his beloved family of musical theater punks. The Joe Iconis Rock and Roll Jamboree is a laid-back, fired-up evening of Iconis tunes, featuring new jams, old faithfuls, and glimpses into the future. Songs of hate and hope, suburbia and pornography, cougars and jailbait, dead people and livin' things, and more sing-alongs than one can shake a glass of whiskey at. Some special guests will join Joe for this, the first leg of his "Death To The Bloodless" Tour 2010. So come on down to the Jamboree- it's loud, soft, sweet, nasty, and above all else, bloody as hell. Debut album out on Sh-K-Boom this fall.
The show features Joseph Brent, Katrina Rose Dideriksen. Ian Kagey, Jeremy Morse, Krysta Rodriguez, Lance Rubin, Brent Stranathan, Jared Weiss, with Jason "Sweettooth" Williams and The Kissin' Kazoo Sisters (Liz Lark Brown and MK Lawson).
Special guests scheduled to appear are Felicia Finley ('The Wedding Singer;' 'The Life') on August 9th; Anthony Rapp ('Rent;' Dazed and Confused') on August 16th; Heidi Blickenstaff ('[title of show];' 'The Little Mermaid' on August 23rd; and Lisa Brescia ('Wicked;' Ordinary Days') on August 30th.
