Theater Review: Beloved stage veteran and OITNB regular _AnnieGolden plays a crime-fighting version of herself in BeMoreChill composer MrJoeIconis' '70s exploitation movie musical spoof, 'Broadway Bounty Hunter'
, and even an album cover from her '70s-era punk band The Shirts. As the show would have it, Annie, whose Broadway producer husband died ten years earlier, has fallen on hard times. Her head-shot is woefully out of date and she keeps losing parts to younger actresses.
Thus begins Annie's tremulous adventures as a bounty hunter, tasked with journeying to Ecuador and tracking down the "drug-pushing, pimp daddy" Mac Roundtree . If you recognize the surname as an homage to a certain blaxploitation star of the '70s, you're ahead of the game.
Another problem is that Golden, although eliciting our empathy with her sad-sack expression and large, woeful eyes, never fully leans into the show's outrageousness. Despite her still powerful pipes, we get little sense of her character's transformation into a badass heroine, which might at least have resulted in some wacky fun. And such plot developments as Lazarus warming up to his unlikely partner or a shocking revelation about Roundtree's identity feel more rote than inspired.
