Tony Award nominee Stark Sands and Broadway's Laura Osnes are the notorious American crime couple of Bonnie & Clyde, making its world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse.
With music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Tony Award winner Don Black, book by Ivan Menchell and direction and musical staging by Jeff Calhoun, Bonnie & Clyde, according to the California not-for-profit, "is based on the lives of Depression-era outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whose notorious exploits captured the country's imagination. This seductive and cinematic new musical examines how a troubled Texas teen and a love-sick waitress became America's most infamous couple, with a thrilling new score that combines rockabilly, blues and gospel music."
Opening night is Nov. 22. Performances continue to Dec. 20 in the Playhouse's Mandell Weiss Theatre in La Jolla, CA.
Tickets to Bonnie & Clyde are currently available by calling (858) 550-1010 or by visiting lajollaplayhouse.org.
