Hunter Foster and I were actors in Broadway's Urinetown. He was a book writer (Summer of 42) and I was a songwriter (Newsical). So of course we decided to write a show together. Bonnie and Clyde was Hunter's idea. Why hadn't it been done before? Turns out that while the personalities of everyone involved with the real Bonnie and Clyde were fascinating, their story was gruesome. 'If only you could put these characters in a musical comedy…' we thought. Quickly answered with, 'Well why not?'
