Broadway Bounty Hunter is the most fun you’ll have in an Off-Broadway Theater.  How can you go wrong with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis?  He partners on the book for this project with Lance Rubin, and Jason Sweettooth Williams to create an unexpected laugh riot.  Every set-up in Act I pays off in multitudes in Act II.  Director/Choreographer Jennifer Werner uses every corner of the Greenwich House Theater to give her powerful, high-energy cast the space to let loose and captivate every member of the audience.

Annie (played by Annie Golden) was a Broadway star back in her day.  Being a “woman of a certain age,” she is now having trouble getting work.  Her husband, a Broadway director and producer, died ten years earlier, leaving her broken-hearted and vulnerable.  She is visited one night by Shiro Jin (played by Emily Borromeo), and recruited to be a bounty hunter.  Having nothing to lose, she accepts the challenge.  After vigorous training, she is partnered with Lazarus (played by Alan H. Green), who reluctantly agrees to take her under his wing.  Their first mission is to find and bring back alive Mac Roundtree (played by Brad Oscar), a deadly drug dealer in South America.  What lies ahead for Annie is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment beyond anyone’s imagination.

Annie Golden, Alan H. Green, and Brad Oscar are magnificent together.  They play the humor with just the right amount of edge.  They hit every laugh and make this raucous story truthful and believable.  Emily Borromeo, Badia Farha, Jasmine Forsberg, Omar Garibay, Jared Joseph, and Christina Sajous do numerous instantaneous costume and character changes, keeping the pace moving fast and the action continually rising.  Just when the story progresses and builds, the plot twists and the stakes spike even higher, making every moment funnier and more dangerous.

Broadway Bounty Hunter is playing at the Greenwich Village Theater.  Treat yourself to a fun time.  You deserve it!
