Book by Ivan Menchell, Music by Frank Wildhorn and Lyrics by Don Black
Show Synopsis: America’s most notorious lovers and bank robbers take the country by storm in this sexy and compelling adventure. 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 the Texas law enforcement's worst nightmares.
