The Lake Players has revealed the cast for Bonnie & Clyde, running this spring at Westlake Cinema in Hardy, Virginia, led by Megan Livingston and NYC-based Colter Camp in the title roles. Tickets are on sale now.

At Two River Theater's 32nd Annual Gala on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at Park Loft in Oceanport on the Fort Monmouth campus, attendees will be treated to an exclusive sneak peek of the ground-breaking World Premiere musical Elephant Shoes.

If you are new to Death Note, there is a lot to catch up on. It has inspired multiple adaptations across television, film, novels, video games, and even stage productions, becoming one of the most influential franchises in contemporary Japanese pop culture. The musical features a score by Tony, Grammy and Emmy nominee Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy and a book by Ivan Menchell. Wildhorn and Murphy's past collaborations include The Civil War, Swing, Wonderland, Carmen, and Count of Monte Cristo. Wildhorn is perhaps best known for Jekyll & Hyde, Bonnie & Clyde, The Scarlet Pimpernall, and Dracula. Wildhorn's work on Death Note led to more manga adaptations, including Fist of the North Star in 2021 and Your Lie In April in 2022. I see Death Note as this total international, breaking the glass ceiling of what manga can be musically, around the world,' Wildhorn recently told BroadwayWorld.
