Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (Broadway)
236 West 45th St. New York, NY
Two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere became the biggest folk heroes in all America. They craved adventure—and each other. Their names were Bonnie and Clyde.
LAURA OSNES (Grease, Anything Goes) and JEREMY JORDAN (Newsies, West Side Story) star as the 20th century’s most infamous duo, as the daring story of love and crime that captured the imagination of a country takes aim at a whole new generation.
Featuring music by Tony® nominee Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde), lyrics by Tony® and Oscar® winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard), a book by Emmy® Award nominee Ivan Menchell and direction by Tony® nominee Jeff Calhoun (Newsies) this sexy new musical has claimed the Schoenfeld Theatre as its hideout. And after stealing hearts—and rave reviews—from the La Jolla Playhouse to the Asolo Rep, there may just be no stopping BONNIE & CLYDE.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Bonnie & Clyde
Wheel This Barrow Out of Town
4 / 10
'Bonnie & Clyde' isn't the worst musical to open on Broadway in the past decade. It isn't even the worst Frank Wildhorn musical to open on Broadway in the past decade. (That would be 'Dracula.') It is, however, quite sufficiently bad enough to qualify for the finals of this year's What-Were-They-Thinking Prize. Why would anyone not obviously deranged put money into a show with music by a composer whose last three Broadway outings tanked? And who thought it was a good idea to write a commodity musical whose title gives the impression that 'Bonnie & Clyde' is based (even though it isn't) on a 44-year-old movie that is no longer well remembered save by upper-middle-age baby boomers? Nor have Mr. Wildhorn and his feckless collaborators managed to beat these long odds: 'Bonnie & Clyde' is so enervatingly bland and insipid that you'll leave the theater asking yourself why you ever liked musicals in the first place.
Broadway's 'Bonnie & Clyde' murderous leads in Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan, and killer songs
7 / 10
Jordan, who was in 'Rock of Ages,' is charisma in person, a ball of swaggering arrogance with a sad boy underneath that's catnip to Bonnie (and many of the women in the audience). Bonnie, we are told, was a ravishing redhead, and Osnes is just that — this 'Anything Goes' alumna transforms from a girl in need of attention (her sad 'How 'Bout a Dance' is beautiful) to a stone-cold fox cradling a shotgun. This is a killer combination: They will slay you, literally.
