Why See Bonnie and Clyde?
The Devil's Children
The story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow has fascinated the public since they began their infamous crime spree in 1932. Numerous media have explored their relationship and hunger for murder, including Arthur Penn's stylish 1967 movie and Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's unique ballad of the same year. And now, following a highly successful run on the West End, comes this major UK tour of Frank Wildhorn, Don Black, and Ivan Menchell's musical retelling of their unforgettable romance, taking flight from March 2024!
Set to a bluegrass, gospel and rockabilly-infused score, the tale of the two outlaws is brought to life on stage, from the pair's early lives to their combustive meeting and subsequent, headline-grabbing crime spree culminating in their final shoot out.
