He has been nominated for a Tony Award, four Drama Desk Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, two Outer Critics’ Circle Awards, and is the recipient of an Ed Kleban Award, a Jonathan Larson Award, and a Richard Rodgers Award.
After originating at Two River Theater in Red Bank NJ, Joe’s musical Be More Chill (with Joe Tracz) went on to play Broadway, London, and Tokyo. His new show The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S.

His music appeared on season two of NBC’s Smash and he frequently performs with his concert act Joe Iconis & Family at 54 Below (where he is their first-ever Artist-in-Residence) and the Laurie Beechman Theater.
His albums include the 44-song retrospective “Album”, the original cast recordings of “Love in Hate Nation”, “Broadway Bounty Hunter”, “Things To Ruin”, and “Be More Chill” (both OCR and OBCR, which have been streamed over 750 million times); “Two-Player Game” (with George Salazar), and “The Joe Iconis Rock & Roll Jamboree” all available on Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records.
