Bonnie and Clyde is a thrilling new musical with book by Ivan Menchell (The Cemetery Club, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang); music byFrank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel); lyrics by Tony Award-winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard, Song and Dance); Music Supervision, Arrangements and Orchestrations by John McDaniel; and direction and musical staging by Tony Award- winnerJeff Calhoun (Deaf West's Big River and Pippin, Grease!), now playing at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida through December 19.
Producers Jerry Frankel and Jeffrey Richards have revealed that they intend to bring the production to Broadway in August 2011. Says Frankel: "We're planning to go to Broadway in August. We're going to Broadway, absolutely."
I am thrilled to say "I told you so!" with a CRITIC'S PICK when the production originated @ La Jolla Playhouse last season in 2009. It made my year-end list as Most Promising New Musical and Best Lead Performances included Laura Osnes and Stark Sands (Clyde @ La Jolla) and in Featured Performance Mare Winningham (Emma @ La Jolla).
Bravo to its continued success!
