Music and Lyrics by Joe Iconis
Co-Conceived by Joe Iconis and John Simpkins
Seen at Second Stage Theater, (le) Poisson Rouge, The Zipper Factory (RIP).
A theatrical rock concert about human beings who are messy, emotional, drugged up, knocked down, inspired, and electric and who don’t have nearly enough time to cause the kind of commotion they so desperately need to cause. Things To Ruin rocks with an occasionally profane and always heartfelt explosion of music and high drama. Things To Ruin has been seen at the Second Stage Theatre, The Zipper Factory, Joe’s Pub, (Le) Poisson Rouge and Ars Nova.
