Photo Flash: BONNIE & CLYDE at La Jolla Playhouse
The world-premiere musical production of Bonnie & Clyde at La Jolla Playhouse features Laura Osnes as Bonnie, Tony-nominee Stark Sands whose run of Twelfth Night ends this weekend, as Clyde and the Academy Award-nominated (Georgia) and Emmy-winning (Amber Waves, George Wallace) Mare Winningham as Bonnie's mother. Also set for the cast are Melissa Van Der Schyff as Bonnie's sister-in-law (BIG RIVER, PIPPIN), and Chris Peluso as Deputy Ted Hinton (MAMMA MIA!). Additional casting news is expected shortly.
This production features music by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel), lyrics by Tony Award-winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard, Song and Dance), book by Ivan Menchell (The Cemetery Club, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and direction by Jeff Calhoun (Deaf West's Big River and Pippin, Grease!). Bonnie & Clyde will run November 10 - December 20, 2009 in The Playhouse's Mandell Weiss Theatre.
Bonnie & Clyde 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.
Their ageless story of fateful passion, daring exploits and murderous desire continues to seduce a nation all too familiar with the cost of fame by any means.
