I'll be the one to start it...this thread is for positive comments; haters and detractors have other places to post. Wishing all the best to the cast, crew and creative team. I can't wait to hear Melissa Van Der Schyff sing "That's What You Call a Dream" again.

I had a great time at Bonnie & Clyde and I am looking forward to returning to the show. I really hope they get a cast recording, I'm making do with the demo for now. I can't get the opening out of my head!
There is also a legitimate demo, with about thirteen tracks of it - also of the current cast. The songs from the website are culled from it.
As for this being a love thread - it seems like the current thread is enough of a love thread, yeah? I've only read a total of three reviews that I could call 'negative' (four if you count Kyle, but who does?) the rest of which are very positive.
Myself the two people I was with all loved Bonnie and Clyde! Wishing the entire cast, crew, and creative team the best of luck when reviews come out tomorrow. This show deserves a great run.
I saw this last week and loved it! Laura & Jeremy have an electric chemistry onstage that crackles like a high tension line. If Melissa Van Der Schyff doesn't win a Tony I'll start doubting mankind in general. My God.... she could sing a page out of a phone book and give you goosebumps! (I saw her in the revival of Big River a few years ago and was just as bowled over back then!)
Best of luck to Bonnie & Clyde, I hope you have a long run!!
Add me to the list of fans too! I am so crazy excited for this show to open tomorrow! I can't wait to read the reviews, I'm really hoping for mostly rave reviews!
GatorNY, are you the one that posted this on the B&C facebook fan page? For the record, I was one that voted you should call this thread The World Will Remember Us. :P
bwayphreak234, Tomorrow we will have a better idea of how long this show will last when the reviews come out. Although, it is possible to still survive terrible reviews (not super likely, though), and it's also possible to still close early after positive reviews. But I'm really hoping this show will have a long life, it certainly deserves one!
Reggioonbway, wait, there is a demo with the Broadway cast? The only demo I have has Brandi Burkhardt, Rob Evan, Linda Eder, etc. Where can I find this other demo?! Thanks!
Yes Millie, that was me! Now you can see me not wearing my BWW costume with my Levi Kreis avatar. I am going to be watching my computer pretty closely tomorrow night to see the reviews come in. There's definitely nothing like this playing right now. I usually go for the uplifting types of fare, but it's nice to see a show come a long that tells a story, one that we know how it will end, and manage to be compelling and different. I wonder what would happen if people had to go in and have no idea who the composer was. I'm hoping that the critics can set aside their preconceived notions about Wildhorn.

My name is Darci, I've posted a couple of times on Bonnie & Clyde's fanpage too, haha.
I completely agree how there is nothing like this currently on Broadway. I do love your cliche Broadway musicals (I've seen Anything Goes 16 times so far. :P ) But I love this show because it's so different, and it isn't your cliche musical - in any sense of the word. I think that's what makes it so good. It's raw, and it dares to go places that most musicals don't, and for that I admire it.
I'm nervous that it is Wildhorn, I think people would feel differently about it if it didn't have his name attached to it. But for what it's worth, I think what he composed for this show is brilliant! I think it adds so much to the show, it seems to fit in the time period, and I think it adds to the overall mood of the show. Plus, I haven't been able to stop listening to it since I saw it, so it must be good. :P
I've seen the show numerous times already and every single time I can't wait to go back, I saw it in Sarasota as well. I'm so thrilled it's finally on Broadway. I'm completely addicted to the demo and I'm so excited the cast album is being recorded December 5 and will most likely be released in January :) I can talk about this show all day and there is not a weak link in the cast, everyone at the theatre and in the cast is so nice. I will be going again very soon!
jenniferlyn, I'm curious, how has the show changed since Sarasota? I saw a few videos from then, it doesn't look too different. I wish I would have been able to see it in an out of town tryout, but I'm so happy it's finally in the east coast! :) I saw it twice already, I'm hoping to go back this weekend! I can't get enough of it, either!

That's how GatorNY began this thread. I've gotten tired of wading through the mean and derisive posts on the other thread, so I decided to revive this one. Please, folks who don't like the show, post elsewhere. Have some manners.
