The original cast album of Frank Wildhorn’s Bonnie & Clyde, featuring Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan as the title outlaws, will be released by Broadway Records on April 24.
Set in Depression-era Texas, Bonnie & Clyde tells the tale of two infamous outlaws who fall in love and into a life of crime. The show features music by Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black and a book by Ivan Menchell. The album was recorded shortly after Bonnie & Clyde’s final Broadway performance at the Schoenfeld Theatre on December 30, 2011.
The score of Bonnie & Clyde features styles from twangy country-inspired tunes like “You’re Going Back to Jail” and musical theater ballads like “Dyin’ Ain’t So Bad” to dreamy period numbers like Bonnie’s signature song, “How ‘Bout a Dance.” In addition to Osnes and Jordan, the cast recording will also include Melissa van der Schyff, Claybourne Elder, Joe Hart, Louis Hobson, Talon Ackerman, Rozi Baker, Leslie Becker, Mimi Bessette, Alison Cimmet, Daniel Cooney, Jon Fletcher, Kelsey Fowler, Victor Hernandez, Sean Jenness, Katie Klaus, Michael Lanning, Garrett Long, Matt Lutz, Marissa McGowan, Cassie Okenka, Justin Matthew Sargent, Jack Tartaglia and Tad Wilson.
The Bonnie & Clyde cast album was produced by Wildhorn, along with John McDaniel and David Lai, and executive produced by Van Dean, Corey Brunish, Howard Kagan and Terry Schnuck.
