Broadway Bounty Hunter features music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Joe Iconis ("Smash," Be More Chill), with a book co-written by Iconis, Lance Rubin (Denton Little’s Deathdate), and Jason SweetTooth Williams (Be More Chill). Broadway Bounty Hunter is directed and choreographed by Jennifer Werner (The Book of Mormon, Supervising Associate Director) and stars Screen Actors Guild Award winner Annie Golden (Hair, Assassins, "Orange is the New Black") in the title role.

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 badass identity along the way.

This New York premiere – produced by Jennifer Ashley Tepper (Be More Chill) and Allison Bressi (Songbird) – ran at Greenwich House Theater from July 9 through August 8, 2019, following the musical’s sold-out, critically acclaimed world-premiere at Barrington Stage Company.
