Anyone wondering what genre-hopping composer-lyricist-book writer Joe Iconis would do as an encore to the Broadway run of Tony-nominated “Be More Chill” need look no further than his immediate past…
” is both an R&B-soaked love letter to its star and an inside-joke-laden paean to the Great White Way — labor laws, Mandy Patinkin, weaponized Outer Critics awards and all.,” Iconis here creates a score of silken, kitschy tunes inspired by ’70s Blaxpolitation soundtracks, braggadocious R&B and sleek ’90s soul acts like Blackstreet and Destiny’s Child.
In doing all this and giving the actress room to stretch her legs and her voice, Iconis grants Golden the meatiest part she’s had in ages as a downcast out-of-work actor-turned-bounty hunter, seeking to take down a brothel-owning drug lord who has a secret connection both to Golden and to Broadway. This Annie might not always be up to the task of the bounty hunting mantra of “one part animal instinct/One part primal rage/One part valiant courage/And the wisdom/That comes with age,” but she’s always willing to try. Iconis and his team have tailored every moment of “Broadway Bounty Hunter” to Golden’s strengths: her doe-eyed innocence, her punk rocky hair flips, her upside-down smile, and her inventive, cutting vocals.
