“Joe Iconis…nimbly mimics the R&B and funks of the 1970’s, the halcyon days of exploitation movies that inspired the wacked-out plot” – The New York Times

“..rollicking musical mash-up…The rowdy, funny, cheerfully cockeyed show marries elements from 1970s movies like Shaft and Enter the Dragon with a twisted tale of showbiz ruthlessness” – The Boston Globe

“…outrageously entertaining new musical”– Albany Times-Union

“In a season of fascinating new shows, this one is definitely at the top of the list, a true winner in the premiere sweepstakes.”– Berkshire Bright Focus

“Fresh and new, Broadway Bounty Hunter is a chop-socky musical delight… Broadway Bounty Hunter comes as close to a 10 as any musical thus far….Go and enjoy it’s music, its energy and imagination for yourself.” – Berkshire On Stage

“The raucous world premiere of  Broadway Bounty Hunters at Barrington Stage Company is a caterwauling, titubating, soulful musical that packs a wallop… Suffice it to say that for once a stomping and cheering Standing O was richly deserved.“ – Berkshire Fine Arts

“[Broadway Bounty Hunter] celebrates the history of B-list movies and modern musical theatre by blending them together in hilarious fashion” – Broadway World

“..a sassy, joyous, booty-shakin’ dynamite new musical” – Off Script with Dan Dwyer
