Bonnie and Clyde
There is a tremendous love for this show now, and it's fantastic that it is getting a West End run. The only thing the British love more than Americans on stage, is America's behaving badly on stage!

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.

Loved It
I thought this performance was wonderful. I loved the songs (still humming some of them), the performances were terrific. The lady who played Blanche was a real scene stealer, the Bonnie & Clyde leads made this a raucous, raw fun night!! ... Read more

Brilliant Musical Theatre!
Saw this two days before press night - full house and spontaneous standing ovation at the end - so what were those so called 'theatre critics' watching two days after me?! We LOVED this show - it is NOT a historical biopic - it is an (outstanding) piece of musical theatre. Incredible cast with 4 SUPERB leads (Clyde, Bonnie, Buck and Blanche). Fantastic staging and production, excellent musical numbers, great cast, what more could you want for a night out at the theatre. Don't listen to the critics. Go see this show and make your own mind up. You won't regret it! We are in London again at the end of March to see 'Newsies', and have booked tickets again for 'Bonnie and Clyde' while we are in town. Too good a show and opportunity to miss! ... Read more
