Bonnie & Clyde |

Description
The Chicago premiere of Bonnie & Clyde with book by Ivan Menchel, music by Frank Wildhorn, and lyrics by Don Black, will be staged at Theatre Wit in September 2017. With a score made of blues, gospel, and rockabilly, the musical captures the real-life exploits of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, the ill-fated lovers and outlaws whose story has been infamous since they achieved folk hero status at the height of the Great Depression. Those years in America were uniquely dramatic, creating a reality of survival at all costs. In a 21st Century now saturated with reality television and internet stars, we reflect on their desire for fame, fortune, and love as we explore how far America has (or has not) come in the years since.
