The Thing About Joe
You may have seen Musical Mondays' first presentation of this quirky new musical comedy by Matthew Hardy and (Emmy and
Grammy Award Winner) Randy Klein.
No longer a one-man show, the full cast "The Thing About Joe" tells the story of Joe
Christiansen from Preston, Idaho, who rebels against his pill-pushing psychiatrist mother and journeys to New York
to pursue his dream of becoming a great Maitre d' like his father who was killed in a freak flaming Bananas Foster
accident!
