Joel B. New is the composer of musicals such as “To Hell and Back,” performed at the New York Musical Festival in 2015; McKenzie and the Missing Boy, developed by the Musical Theatre Factory; and the concept album “Cabot Cove,” which is inspired by Murder She Wrote.
His work has been workshopped or performed at many of the best incubators in the country, including Ars Nova, New York Theatre Barn, Prospect Theater Company, and overseas at Broadway au Carré in Paris!
Joel B. New is the winner of the American Theatre Wing’s Jonathan Larson Grant and MAC’s John Wallowitch Award. He also hosts a podcast called “Something New,” dedicated to voices of contemporary musical theatre, which has returned after a two-year hiatus for a special limited run leading up to… “Monkey Trouble: Unleashed,” which Joel describes as “a violent musical comedy,” inspired by two critically obscure films, which will debut October 6 at The Duplex in New York City!
