WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Bonnie & Clyde is based on the lives of Depression-era outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whose notorious exploits captured the country's imagination. This seductive and cinematic new musical examines how a troubled Texas teen and a love-sick waitress became America's most infamous couple, with a thrilling new score that combines rockabilly, blues and gospel music.
The show will star Laura Osnes (2011 Drama Desk nominee, Anything Goes) as Bonnie Parker and Jeremy Jordan (West Side Story) as Clyde Barrow.
Laura Osnes originated the role of Bonnie Parker when Bonnie & Clyde first began at the La Jolla Playhouse in the fall of 2009, where she earned a San Diego Theater Critics Circle Award for her performance and the show won Best Musical. She then reprised that role opposite Jeremy Jordan in the fall of 2010 when the show ran to critical acclaim at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida.

Unique, a treat, wonderful memory
I had the privilege to see this in Sarasota last December and absolutely was enthralled. It is a wonderful production, and I am proud to say I knew about it before the NY audience. Embrace this terrific show. "Bonnie & Clyde the Musical" who knew? But it is just THAT good!

Anyone following composer Frank Wildhorn's often-assailed career will be glad to hear that
Bonnie & Clyde, his new Broadway musical now at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, is a definite improvement over such disappointments as Wonderland, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Civil War, and Dracula. Nonetheless, the tuner -- featuring often mundane lyrics by Don Black and a curious book by Ivan Menchell -- rarely rises above mediocrity.
The work aspires to establish the headline-grabbing 1930s outlaws (played by Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes) as two love-besotted kids who just want to live fast, love hard and die young. Along the way to their eventually bullet-ridden demise in that getaway Ford, t[...]
