Director
Things To Ruin
Second Stage, The Zipper Factory,
Ars Nova, Joe's Pub
“I would call Things to Ruin the beginning of something, except that it is already well underway”
-New York Times
“A welcome interruption to the Off-Broadway musical scene”
-Variety
“Special mention should go to director John Simpkins who has turned this eclectic mix of music into an organic whole with a fluid and energetic sense of style.”

“The buzz that surrounds Mr. Iconis recalls the excitement that in earlier days surrounded Marc Shaiman, Mr. Larson and Jason Robert Brown.”
