Bonnie and Clyde The Musical is the story of two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere who became the biggest folk heroes in all of America. They craved adventure – and each other. Fearless, shameless, and alluring, this is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire nation.
The production features music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black and a book by Ivan Menchell.
