West End cast album planned for Bonnie and Clyde

The DLAP Group has announced a cast recording of the hit production of Bonnie And Clyde The Musical will be released featuring stars Frances Mayli McCann and Jordan Luke Gage who are due to reprise their performances in the title roles in the West End in March.

Olivier Award-nominee McCann (Heathers The Musical, Theatre Royal Haymarket, Evita, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) and Gage (Heathers The Musical, Theatre Royal Haymarket, & Juliet, Shaftesbury Theatre) are due to play the infamous couple in the production’s strictly limited 11-week season at the Garrick Theatre from 4 March.

The production received its West End premiere at the Arts Theatre last year after the same producers presented two sold-out performances of Bonnie And Clyde In Concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

The production is directed by the director of the concert version, Nick Winston reuniting with the concert’s set and costume designer Philip Whitcomb. The creative team also includes musical supervisor Katy Richardson, lighting designer Zoe Spurr, sound designer Tom Marshall, video designer Nina Dunn and casting director Jim Arnold.

Featuring music by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll and Hyde, The Scarlett Pimpernel), lyrics by Don Black (Tell Me On a Sunday, Sunset Boulevard, Mrs Henderson Presents) and book by Ivan Menchell (The Prince and The Pauper Musical), the musical version of the story of one of America’s most infamous criminal couples had a short run on Broadway at the end of 2011.

Inspired by the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, their passionate love affair and their violent crime spree during the Great Depression, the musical features the songs ‘Raise a Little Hell’, ‘This World Will Remember Me’ and ‘Made in America’.
