BONNIE & CLYDE,with a score by Tony Award winner
Frank Wildhorn (The Scarlet Pimpernel, Jekyll & Hyde), lyrics by Tony Award winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard) and a libretto by Ivan Menchell (“The Cemetery Club”), is directed by Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun (Grease in 1994, Brooklyn, Big River, Disney’s Newsies) and stars Drama Desk Award nominee Laura Osnes (Grease, South Pacific, Anything Goes) and rising star Jeremy Jordan (West Side Story, Disney’s Newsies). The score flirts with rockabilly, blues and gospel to tell the true tale of a waitress and a troubled Texas teen whose notorious exploits captured the country’s imagination. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were among the first celebrity criminals of the modern era and were an instant legend with an enduring appeal to the public imagination.
