On November 11th, 2012, Joel released the first episode of SOMETHING NEW, a musical theatre podcast. Five years and nearly 100 episodes later, his critically acclaimed series is going on an indefinite hiatus in order to make room for, well, something new. The concert finale will feature stories, guests, and original songs spanning all five seasons, featuring Mr. New at the piano. Stay tuned for a complete guest lineup!

A composer, lyricist, bookwriter, producer, educator, and performer, Joel B. New is the proud recipient of an American Theatre Wing Jonathan Larson Grant for his music and lyrics. He is the creator and host of SOMETHING NEW, named one of the Top 20 Podcasts for Theatre Fans by BroadwayWorld.com. Joel’s first solo EP Cabot Cove -- a collection of “theatre pop” songs inspired by the classic TV series Murder, She Wrote -- is available on Broadway Records.
