Broadway Composer Joe Iconis to Perform Concert at Adelphi

In addition to Iconis, performers will include Broadway and Off-Broadway stars

Garden City, NY (04/05/2021) — Broadway composer Joe Iconis, whose works include "Be More Chill," will bring an electric mixture of songs from musicals and stand-alone songs to Adelphi University's Performing Arts Center (PAC) on Sunday, April 11. The virtual concert is part of the University's Live from Adelphi Concert Series.

When Iconis, who grew up in Garden City, New York, isn't writing, he's playing concerts with his beloved family of collaborators. An Iconis and Family concert is a unique theatrical experience - part rock gig, part classic show-tune singalong, part immersive theatrical event.

In addition to Iconis, performers will include Broadway and Off-Broadway stars Badia Farha of "School of Rock" and "Bounty Hunter," Lorinda Lisitza of "Berlin to Broadway" and "The Joe Iconis Christmas Extravaganza," Lauren Marcus of "Be More Chill" and "The Jonathan Larson Project," Will Roland of "Dear Evan Hansen" and "Be More Chill" and Jason SweetTooth Williams of "Be More Chill" and "The Black Suits."

The live concert will take place at 5 p.m. Eastern. The recording will then be available until Wednesday at midnight for those unable to watch live

Tickets are $20. Registration and more information is available at bit.ly/3uebX7H.
