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.

What are other members saying?

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!

I agree. could be Wildhorne's sleeper hit!
I agree with the review posted July 1. This was quite enjoyable and I am far from a Wildhorne fan. Great tunes, acting, direction and set.
