The Old Joint Stock at Birmingham announced Bonnie and Clyde

The outlaws are back!

At the height of the Great Depression, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow went from two small-town nobodies in West Texas to America's most renowned folk heroes and Texas law enforcement's worst nightmares. Fearless, shameless and alluring, the Tony-nominated Bonnie & Clyde, from the legendary Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Civil War, Dracula) is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire country.

When Bonnie and Clyde meet, their mutual cravings for excitement and fame immediately set them on a mission to chase their dreams. Their bold and reckless behaviour turns the young lovers' thrilling adventure into a downward spiral, putting themselves and their loved ones in trouble with the law. Forced to stay on the run, the lovers resort to robbery and murder to survive. As the infamous duo's fame grows bigger, their inevitable end draws nearer.

The non-replica show will be directed by Emily Susanne Lloyd and lead by India Lily Cooper as Bonnie and Samuel Murrey as Clyde joined by Killian Thomas Lefevre as Buck/understudy Clyde and Faye Campbell as Blanche, Hannah Victoria as Preacher and Davis Weave is Ted. Completing the cast are Hannah Willars, Thomas Oxley, Steven Rostance, Kurran Dhand, Charlotte Neale and Charlotte Dixon.

Young Bonnie and Young Clyde are Tessy Hawkesford, Beau Eaton, Evie Pavlovs and Dan Dare.

Associate director Liam Alexandru, producer James Edge, musical director Ben Barrow, set and costume designer George P Martin, lighting designer Joanne Marshall and sound designer Paul Finch.

Emily Susanne Lloyd, the director of the show said: “We’re so proud to be welcoming such an extraordinary mix of fresh talent and experienced performers to our stage for Bonnie and Clyde. This is a story about outlaws rewriting the rules, and in many ways, that’s exactly what we’re doing at the Old Joint Stock: proving that bold, innovative, large-scale theatre can thrive in the most intimate of spaces.”

Bonnie & Clyde is a thrilling and sexy musical with a non-traditional score, combining blues, gospel and rockabilly music.
