Description

Let's raise a little hell this summer! Starring Tony-Nominee Jeremy Jordan and Olivier-Nominee Frances Mayli McCann, this cult-favorite Broadway musical re-tells the unbelievable true story of America's most infamous couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Captured in stunning, world-class quality, as they say “ain't no way you won't remember us.” Filmed live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane during two special one-off concert stagings in January 2022, Bonnie & Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features theatre royalty Jeremy Jordan as Clyde (The Great Gatsby, Waitress, Super Girl, Newsies, The Last Five Years) who originated the role of Clyde Barrow in the Broadway premiere of the production in 2011. He is joined by Frances Mayli McCann (Heathers, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) who went on to originate the role of Bonnie in the West End. Bonnie & Clyde The Musical is the story of two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere who became the biggest folk heroes in all 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.

Producer David Treatman said: “For many, exposure to musical theatre begins at home or in school, and my hope is that worldwide audiences will bring Bonnie & Clyde into their auditoriums and living rooms. “We were able to capture an extraordinary performance of this beloved show in an unusually vital way. There is an electricity that courses through the performances that we were able to translate to the screen through the excellence of the artists involved at every level of the production, and an innovative approach to the taping. While nothing can replace the live experience, our film harnesses the power of cinema to capture its essence, preserving the energy of live performance while embracing the advantages of film, delivering both the danger and excitement of the stage alongside the intimacy and intention of the camera at a price that anyone can afford.” The filmed concert staging features some of the biggest names in musical theatre including George Maguire as Buck, Natalie McQueen as Blanche, Trevor Dion Nicholas as Preacher, Liam Tamne as Ted, Casey Al-Shaqsy as Stella, Simon Anthony as Cop/Bud/Archie/Deputy Johnson, Gillian Bevan as Cummie Barrow/Eleanor, Eloise Davies as Trish, Adrian Grove as Henry Barrow, Debbie Kurup as Governor Miriam Ferguson, Matthew Malthouse as Bob Alcorn, Jeremy Secomb as Judge/Sheriff Schmid, Russell Wilcox as Captain Frank Hamer, and Julie Yammanee as Emma Parker.
