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 established himself as a composer and lyricist with a gift for contemporary musical storytelling. His work on Smash brought him Tony Award recognition, and he continued to build his reputation through Be More Chill, a cult favorite that resonates especially with younger audiences through its blend of pop sensibility and genuine emotional depth.

Why we love this

Iconis writes for singers who need to act the song, not just sing it. The music in Broadway Bounty Hunter sits in accessible ranges while delivering character moments that feel earned rather than imposed. A director programming contemporary material will find that this piece rewards strong performers without requiring virtuosity.

What to expect

Infectious and layered. The music has a pop sensibility that feels modern and energetic, anchored by lyrics that blend humor with real vulnerability. There's a fearlessness to the score that matches Annie's journey from failed actor to unexpected hero.

Who it's for

Singers working with Broadway material who want to explore recent compositions with genuine theatrical wit and soulfulness. This arrangement serves pianists accompanying auditions, recitals, or studio recordings of contemporary musical theatre repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the soulful vocal line against the rhythmic accompaniment by thinking of the piano as a conversation partner rather than a support structure. Let the melody breathe over the groove.
  • Pay attention to Iconis's lyrical rhythms, which often fall slightly off the beat. These moments of syncopation are intentional and create the character's voice; locking them in too tightly will flatten the personality.
  • Explore the dynamic range available in the arrangement. Piano/vocal scores from contemporary musicals often indicate more subtext through dynamics than through tempo changes.

How to use it

Include this in a recital pairing contemporary musical theatre with classic standards to demonstrate how the form continues to evolve. It works equally well as a showcase solo in a concert of newer Broadway material or as a teaching piece for singers learning to navigate soulful, rhythmically complex contemporary music.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic accuracy in syncopated pop/rock styles
  • Acting through song with contemporary musical theatre language
  • Balancing legit singing technique with a conversational, character-driven vocal approach
  • Collaborating with a pianist on groove-based accompaniment
