Video: Go Inside Rehearsals for BONNIE & CLYDE at Pioneer Theatre Company

Get a first look at rehearsals for Pioneer Theatre Company's production of Bonnie & Clyde, on stage from February 23-March 9, 2024.

Debuting in 2009 at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse, Bonnie & Clyde had its Broadway premiere in 2011, followed by numerous notable productions around the world, including a recent West End revival. PTC's production marks the first professional mounting of Bonnie & Clyde in Utah and is described as follows:

Adventure and romance await in the larger-than-life true tale of one of history's most notorious couples. During the height of the Great Depression, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow captured the nation's imagination with their infamous rise from small-town West Texas nobodies to American legends. Featuring a book by Emmy nominee Ivan Menchell and a Tony-nominated score by composer Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Count of Monte Cristo) and Oscar and Tony Award-winning lyricist Don Black (Sunset Boulevard), Bonnie & Clyde is a celebration of quintessential American musical genres: blues, gospel, and rock & roll. An electrifying story of fame, a life of crime, and love.

Leading the cast are PTC alum Alanna Saunders* (The Rocky Horror Show, Once on This Island) as Bonnie Parker and PTC newcomer Michael William Nigro* (NBC's The Sound of Music Live) as Clyde Barrow.

Also featured in the cast are PTC alumni Mary Fanning Driggs* (Elf the Musical, Mamma Mia!) as Cumie Barrow; Gina Milo* (Annie) as Blanche Barrow; and Daniel Simons* (Les Misérables, Rent) as Henry Barrow/Frank Hamer.
