An electric musical comedy with an irresistible, soulful new score, Broadway Bounty Hunter follows down-on-her-luck actress Annie who has just about had it with showbiz, when along comes a gig no one could have predicted: the opportunity to become a real-life, Kung Fu-fighting bounty hunter. With a six-piece powerhouse band, the musical chronicles the journey of this woman of a certain age---from bad auditions on the streets of New York to beating up bad guys in the jungles of South America and discovering her true identity along the way.

More about this title

About the Composer: Joe Iconis

Joe Iconis has carved out a distinctive voice in contemporary musical theater, blending pop and rock sensibilities with genuine theatrical storytelling. His work on Smash brought musical theater into the social media age, while Be More Chill became a cultural phenomenon among young audiences, proving that his music speaks directly to how people actually talk and feel today.

Why we love this

Iconis writes for singers who live in the vernacular, not the baroque. This song sits comfortably in contemporary idioms while maintaining real melodic hooks and harmonic sophistication. The arrangement by Charlie Rosen captures the swagger and humor of the material without overshadowing the singer.

What to expect

The song radiates confidence and sass, delivered with a soulful undercurrent that keeps it from ever feeling shallow. You'll find yourself in the headspace of someone who's decided to stop apologizing for taking up space, set to irresistible grooves and hooks that burrow into your brain.

Who it's for

Vocalists comfortable with contemporary musical theater and pop sensibilities will thrive with this material. It works equally well for singers in studio programs, recitals, or competitive contexts where contemporary Broadway repertoire is valued.

How to get the most out of it

  • Anchor the groove by feeling the backbeat; this isn't legit theater music, and the pocket matters as much as the pitch.
  • Use the lyrics to drive phrasing and dynamics rather than applying traditional vocal line shaping; let the conversational quality of Iconis's writing guide your interpretation.
  • Pay attention to the piano part as a full rhythmic partner, not just harmonic support; lock in with its syncopations to keep the music propulsive.
  • Find the character's attitude in the song; Broadway Bounty Hunter is a comedy, and the music should reflect that lightness and confidence.

How to use it

Program this alongside other contemporary Broadway selections to demonstrate the range of musical theater being written today. It pairs well in a recital focused on character-driven comedy numbers or as a palate-cleanser in a program mixing classical and contemporary styles.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing conversational, rhythm-driven text while maintaining melodic shape
  • Rhythmic coordination between voice and piano in syncopated contexts
  • Character interpretation in comedic contemporary musical theater
  • Comfortability with pop and rock vocal production in a legit theater setting
