Pioneer Theatre Company presents Bonnie & Clyde from February 23-March 9, 2024. Debuting in 2009 at San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse, Bonnie & Clyde eventually had its Broadway premiere in 2011, followed by numerous notable productions around the world, including a recent West End revival. PTC’s production marks the first professional mounting of Bonnie & Clyde in Utah and is described as follows:
Adventure and romance await in the larger-than-life true tale of one of history’s most notorious couples. During the height of the Great Depression, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow captured the nation’s imagination with their infamous rise from small-town West Texas nobodies to American legends. Featuring a book by Emmy nominee Ivan Menchell and a Tony-nominated score by composer Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Count of Monte Cristo) and Oscar and Tony Award-winning lyricist Don Black (Sunset Boulevard), Bonnie & Clyde is a celebration of quintessential American musical genres: blues, gospel, and rock & roll. An electrifying story of fame, a life of crime, and love!
