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 is a composer and lyricist who has shaped contemporary musical theater with a gift for writing infectious pop-rock scores that speak to modern audiences. His work on Smash brought him Tony Award recognition, and subsequent shows including Be More Chill have established him as a leading voice in musicals that blend humor, heart, and genuinely singable melodies. Iconis writes for the way people actually speak and sing today, making his music accessible to performers while remaining theatrically sophisticated.

Why we love this

Joe Iconis writes pop-rock scores that sit comfortably in singers' ranges without sacrificing character or theatrical punch. Mac Roundtree captures the energy and wit of Broadway Bounty Hunter in a way that lets performers showcase personality while the accompaniment arrangement (by Charlie Rosen) supports rather than overwhelms the vocal line. This is the kind of contemporary musical theater material that makes students want to sing.

What to expect

Mac Roundtree carries the comedic energy and swagger of a character who's discovering her own strength. The music feels current and soulful, with the kind of rhythmic drive and melodic wit that makes you want to move and invest in what's happening onstage.

Who it's for

Singers preparing audition material or performance selections from contemporary musical theater will find this accessible and vocally rewarding. Music directors programming Broadway or musical theater concert material will appreciate music that appeals to modern audiences while remaining technically manageable for high school and community theater singers.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythmic pocket relaxed and grounded; this style asks for a contemporary, conversational approach rather than legit operatic intensity. Think pop vocalist phrasing.
  • Balance the accompaniment texture so the vocal melody cuts through cleanly. The arrangement has layers, but none should mask the singer.
  • Let the character's attitude inform your vocal choices. Iconis writes for specificity, so identify what Mac wants in this moment and sing from there.

How to use it

Feature this in a Broadway or contemporary musical theater concert alongside other selections from Iconis or similar pop-rock musical writers. It works equally well as an audition piece for vocal competitions, a featured solo in a musical theater revue, or part of a student recital exploring current Broadway repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Contemporary vocal phrasing and rhythm interpretation

  • Balance between sung melody and accompaniment texture
  • Pop-rock vocal styling and placement
